Sure, I can provide a brief explanation of the what, when, and significance of each event you mentioned. Here you go:
1. Causes of Great Depression: The Great Depression was a severe economic downturn that started in 1929 and lasted for about a decade. It was primarily caused by a combination of factors, including overproduction, stock market crash, banking failures, and economic inequality.
2. Dust Bowl: The Dust Bowl was a period of severe dust storms that occurred during the 1930s. It affected the Great Plains in the United States, primarily due to drought and poor soil conservation practices. This ecological disaster led to agricultural losses and forced many farmers to migrate in search of better opportunities.
3. Bonus Army March: In 1932, thousands of World War I veterans marched to Washington, D.C., demanding immediate payment of their bonuses that were due in 1945. The march had symbolic significance and highlighted the plight of unemployed veterans during the Great Depression.
4. Franklin Delano Roosevelt: Franklin D. Roosevelt was the 32nd President of the United States, serving from 1933 until his death in 1945. He implemented the New Deal, a series of programs aimed at combating the effects of the Great Depression and providing relief, recovery, and reform.
5. Schecter Poultry v. U.S.: This Supreme Court case, also known as the "Sick Chicken Case," was decided in 1935. It ruled that the National Industrial Recovery Act (NIRA) was unconstitutional as it regulated intrastate commerce, which fell beyond the scope of federal power.
6. "Cash and Carry": It refers to a policy introduced by the United States in 1939, prior to its entry into World War II. Under this policy, countries could purchase American arms as long as they paid in cash and transported the weapons themselves. This allowed the U.S. to provide support to the Allies without direct involvement in the war.
7. Executive Order #9066: Issued by President Roosevelt in 1942, this order authorized the forced relocation and internment of Japanese Americans living on the West Coast during World War II. It was a significant violation of civil rights and affected over 100,000 individuals.
