The Great Depression did not just affect the United States,there was many countries affected such as Canada,Australia,France,Germany,South America,Then Netherlands, and The United Kingdom.The countries that had it the hardest other than the United States was Canada,Australia,Germany,and some parts of the United Kingdom.In Canada about 30% of the force labor was unemployed.On the other hand the unemployment rate stayed below 12% until the second world war.In Australia the unemployment rate reached 32%!That is about 1 out of every 3 people were unemployed.Then in Germany the Germans received loans from the United States up until the start of the Great Depression.The United states did not have the money at this time to send to the Germans.This caused the unemployment rate in Germany to soar and the political system to turn to extremism.In some spots of The United Kingdom the unemployment rate went all the way up to about 70 percent in industrial areas! That means about 7 out of every 10 people were unemployed in that area,that is absolutely insane.Not just in The United states but all around the world people were starving to death and loosing their homes and thousands of people decided to commit suicide.Everybody was desperate for jobs.Sometimes you would see kids holding signs for companies to hire their parents so they could eat.Imagine you are a soldier and you just got back home and then you get home and nobody is there,or worse you find them dead.Many soldiers lost all of their family.If you didn't lose your family and you were a soldier you would most likely return home and you would not be able to find a job to feed yourself,or your family if you had one.Also many people died of diseases because they became so unhealthy or the conditions they lived in were very unsanitary.The affects of the Great Depression were absolutely horrible.The Great Depression was one of the worst things that happened in world history.
