The thing that I will remember most about Chapter 10 is the Great Depression. What I will remember about the Great Depression is that there were four big causal factors to the Great Depression, but the thing that really pushed it over the edge was the stock market crash. On October 29, 1929 the New York Stock Exchange crashed, basically sending us into the Great Depression. The Great Depression didn’t end until around the time of World War II. The Great Depression is important to our state’s history because it left 25% of our population out of a job, and sometimes without food on their plates. The Great Depression was a major event across the U.S.A–including Washington.
