The Great Depression and Chaos in 1936
1936 was a year of economic disaster and global chaos, with events such as the Spanish Civil War, Japan's invasion of China, and the rise of extremism. The United States was also deeply affected by the Great Depression, with widespread poverty, unemployment, and the loss of family farms.
