After the stock market crashed, the Great Depression happened because of the catastrophe. Wall Street was very important because it was a busy and main place for controlling stocks. This event is similar to today, but not as devastating. During the depression President Hoover was in office. President Roosevelt followed after. He made social and economical programs to save the U.S.

After the stock market crashed people lost all of their initial investments, money, and the Great Depression devastated many. Wall Street is important because they control a lot of the interest rates in banks, they also control inflation. In a way the events are similar, but they are also very different. President J. Edgar Hoover was in power at the time. President Roosevelt came in after him. Roosevelt made programs to help the nation and to support it long after he was out of power.

After the stock market crashed cities and citizens lost a lot of money and this resulted in the Great Depression. Wall Street holds lots of stocks in America dealing with money and financial issues. Yes, the events are kind of similar to today because the economy is bad and the U.S. owes lots of money to other countries, resulting in people losing their jobs or making it hard for them to find a job. The president at this time was J. Edgar Hoover. Franklin D. Roosevelt followed and successfully brought the economy back up to it's feet. He instituted the New Deal that brought work back to many Americans.

After Wall Street was when the Great Depression of the 30s occurred. Wall Street was so important to the economy because it had where all the money was going to and coming from places all over the world. These events are similar to an extent. Obviously it isn’t as bad, but I fear something like this will happen in the future due to how many people spend their money today. President Hoover was in office at the time. F. Roosevelt was the next president in the Great Depression. Roosevelt issued a document that put many Americans back to work just in time for World War 2.

After the stock market crash America went into the Great Depression. Wall Street is very important to the economy because if it crashes nobody will be able to buy anything that we need. It is important to the world because they need us to import their products to make money and we can't do that if we don't have any money to spend. Yes, the events are similar but happen on a much smaller scale. Hoover was president at the time of the crash and Roosevelt followed. He got people employed so money started circulating again.

After the stock market crashed the great depression had started. Wall Street was important because that’s where the stocks they controlled the stocks. These events are similar to today. The president at the time was Hoover. The following president was Roosevelt. The president made lots of programs and jobs to save The United States of America. It is sometimes hard to believe this ever happened. Just think of the tuff decision people had to make at those hard times. I don’t if I could have done that.

The stock market crash on Wall Street, of 1929, was the most devastating crash in the history of America. This heart breaking event soon led up to The Great Depression, that lasted about twelve years. Wall Street contained large banks, businesses, and buildings that contained stock that were important to the people. Sadly, these events are similar to the events that are happening today, but not as devastating as the crash in 1929. Yea, it still may effect people but not on such a life threatening level as it did back then. The president during this terrible event was J. Edgar Hoover, who apparently didn't do much to help his people. But, thankfully Theodore Roosevelt, the president that followed , cleaned up the mess and helped the economy get back on its feet. His economical and social programs were positive contributions to Wall Street after its terrible condition.

The stock market crashing, drastically affected billions of peoples' lives. After this major event in American history, another drastic event occured...The Great Depression. My great-grandmother, was alive during The Great Depression. At that time, people had to learn things to save money, and to flat out survive. My grandmother still uses the now tricks-of-the-trade all of the time. For example, keeping pork lard in a jar after cooking meat. So anyways, Wall Street is like incredibly important to the economy of the U.S.A. Wall Stret basically is the economy of the U.S.A. Wall Street is an area that is all about business, banking, and stocks. This place also pays for stocks and other items, in other countries. These past events are similar to today because our economy is definately not the best at the moment. You can thank Obama for that. Our economy was growing and on the rise to be great, but then Obama was elected, and our chances of that went down. Now that he is relected, it is almost a promise that our economy will decrease. The president during the major crash was President Hoover. Now that I think about it, he ad Obama are alike. They both aren't/weren't doing the bets job with our country. The president after Hoover was Frankie R., a.k.a Franklin Roosevelt. He closed the remaining banks, and then opened the ones that were solid. He also crated the New Deal.

The great depression happened after the fall of the stock market. It is important because of the tasks that the stock market can complete. Like government and financial issues. Yes, because of what people and things can do to affect the stock market whether good or bad. The president at the time was Herbert Hoover. Franklin Roosevelt followed after president Hoover. He helped by using his skills to save the U.s. Hopefully nothing like the great depression ever happens again.

After the stock market crashed, it became known as the start of the Great Depression. Wall Street is a major factor in the economy of the USA, and even the world. This is because of that most of the US's money is located here, and is also sent out all around the world. These events are similar today because four the past couple of years our economy has not been the best. The president at the time was President Hoover, and President Roosevelt was the one who followed. Roosevelt spent his time to help more and more Americans get jobs, even after this horrible event.

After the stock market crashed, we had The Great Depression. Wall Street is very important to the economy because it is a very large part of imports and exports. If we didn't have Wall Street, where would we get most of our goods? We have had many scenarios that are like The Great Depression, but we've never had something quite as serious as it, or have such an impact as it did. The president at the time of the Wall Street crash, was President J. Edgar Hoover. The foloowing president was President Franklin Roosevelt. He had created many jobs to get the economy back up and running. The jobs offered a way for families to get money for their families again.

The great economical depression followed the stock market crash in the 1920s. Wall street is so important because it is the center of the economy in the U.S. The economy is going downhill today, but it's not as bad as it was then, at least not yet.

When the stock market crashed in almost just a day, due to things like the dust bowl, people suffered.
