During the Great Depression, Japan was severely affected as the decline in foreign trade caused significant economic hardship. The country heavily relied on international trade, therefore the decrease in trade damaged Japan's economy greatly. Additionally, the Great Depression led to a surge in immigrants seeking work in the country. As a result, the Japanese government was forced to borrow extensively from foreign governments to deal with the economic crisis. In response to the widespread unemployment and poverty, the government also implemented various programs aimed at assisting those in need.
