The Dust Bowl was a period of severe dust storms that caused major ecological and agricultural damage to American and Canadian prairie lands from 1930 to 1936. During this time, many people were forced to leave their homes due to the extreme weather conditions and lack of resources. This led to an increase in property foreclosures, as people were unable to keep up with their mortgage payments. This had a devastating effect on people, as they were forced to leave their homes and livelihoods behind. Many people were left homeless and destitute, with no way to support themselves or their families. The Dust Bowl also caused a great deal of economic hardship, as people were unable to find work or make money to pay for basic necessities.
