Unit 3 - The 1920s & 1930s
​The Great Depression in the Americas

IB Mandated Content for MasteryThe Great Depression and the Americas (mid 1920s–1939)This section focuses on the causes and nature of the Great Depression as well as the different solutions adopted by governments in the region, and the impact on these societies. The Great Depression produced the most serious economic collapse in the history of the Americas. It affected every country in the region and brought about the need to rethink economic and political systems. The alternatives that were offered, and the adaptations that took place, marked a watershed in political and economic development in many countries in the region. With respect to the last three bullets, a case-study approach should be adopted, using one country from the region as an example. The chosen country should be identified in the introduction to the examination answers.

  • Nature and efficacy of solutions in the United States: Hoover; Franklin D Roosevelt and the New Deal
