Description

In this unit, pupils learn how the Great Depression affected the American people. They learn about the Wall Street Crash and the Great Depression, the 1932 Presidential Election, and the Depression's wide-ranging impacts on American society.

This unit uses and builds on the previous unit which looked at pre-Depression America. It also builds on existing knowledge that pupils have about this period when they looked at it from a European perspective at the start of the year 9 unit focused on the Second World War. This unit prepares pupils for the next one, contextualising the position from which the USA recovered in the 1930s.

  1. The Wall Street Crash
  2. The Great Depression
  3. President Hoover and the 1932 presidential election
  4. Effects of the Great Depression on American society

  • Pupils know that the 1920s had been a period of 'boom' in the USA.
