The Great Depression - Part 1<br />
Post war boom and bust. The Great Depression had its roots in the First<br />
World War. We examine the efforts of various countries, including the<br />
USA, Canada, Australia, and several in Europe, to make the transition<br />
from war economies to more normal market conditions. It covers the<br />
post-war boom in manufacturing and wheat production in the USA<br />
and Canada; the prosperous “Roaring Twenties”; the effects of severe<br />
drought conditions in North America; the economic, agricultural, and<br />
societal conditions that led to the “Crash of ‘29”. The program uses<br />
archival film and images to clearly depict the struggle of ordinary people<br />
to survive. It concludes with the election of Franklin Delano Roosevelt in<br />
the U.S. & his goal of returning confidence to the American people.<br />

The Great Depression - Part 2<br />
The global hardships of the 30s, economic solutions, the road to war.<br />
This second program concludes the Great Depression story. It begins<br />
with the “Gold Standard”, its influence on world trade, and explains<br />
the circular flow of a healthy economy. FDR’s “New Deal” in the USA is<br />
covered extensively, as is the establishment of work camps in Canada<br />
and the ensuing “On-to-Ottawa Trek”. As countries all over the world<br />
tried to protect their domestic markets, they placed high tariffs on<br />
imported goods; the video shows that this had the effect of worsening<br />
the depression by bringing stagnation to world trade. The effect of<br />
the Peace Treaty of Versailles on Germany is explained in the story of<br />
Germany’s build-up to the Second World War. The video concludes with<br />
Japan’s military expansion and the USA’s entry into the war.<br />
