Causing massive damage, these large steel vehicles were used to break down the barriers or barbed wire of enemies’ trenches so that they may move in and attack
Although initially used for only reconnaissance and spying missions, by the end of the war they were used for bombing missions and firing at the enemy
Often resulting in blindness, injury, or death, these chemical weapons included chlorine and mustard gas. It was very effective at forcing the evacuation of enemy trenches especially before troops began carrying protective mask.

TEK USH 16B Identify the causes of the Great Depression, including the impact of tariffs on World trade, stock market speculation, bank failures, and the
monetary policy of the Federal Reserve System
Directions: While reading the document underline each of the causes for the Great Depression
The Great Depression was a national nightmare. When the depression struck people felt worthless. The reality of
economic chaos and confusion replaced the nation’s traditional optimistic outlook. People waited for events to
turn, spinning in circles as they fought for daily survival. Businesses failed, farmers lost their farms, banks failed,
and millions of people were out of work. There was no unemployment insurance or bank deposit insurance.
People were homeless, hungry, and desperate.
The Great Depression was not caused by any one event but rather a combination of several factors. One cause
was a crisis that emerged in the farming sector due to overproduction of agricultural products. After the war the
demand for food products dropped significantly. Prices for the products soon went down by 40 percent and farmers could not repay loans.
Hundreds of thousands of farmers lost their land and homes and soon even the banks in rural areas closed as well. Overproduction by
manufacturers was also a critical issue. Companies had increased production of cars, radios, and refrigerators etc.. during the thriving 1920’s.
Soon people found themselves in debt from buying on credit and a slowing economy so they stopped spending. As a result manufactures had
more goods than they could sell. High tariffs imposed by the American government were another cause for the Great Depression. They were
meant to protect American businesses but it caused world trade to drop significantly therefore devastating our economy. The stock market was
another critical factor in the start of the Great Depression. During the 1920’s many were trying to get rich quick. As stock market prices
continued to grow, people started investing all their money and buying stocks on margin which is basically like buying them on credit. When the
stock market crashed in 1929 people lost everything. Actions by The Federal Reserve System were another cause for this horrific time in
American history. In order to try and prevent people from investing unwisely in the stock market (speculation) they raised interest rates. As a
result people borrowed less money which lead to a reduction in spending and thus caused further damage to the economy.

government would be involved due to constitutional
restraints while FDR was willing to go beyond
constitutional constraints to help the economy.

Richard Nixon 1969-1974 Richard Nixon with the help of his advisor Henry Kissinger reshaped the way the United
States approached the world. He introduced the policy of détente which opened communication with China and the Soviet Union. He claimed to represent the “silent majority” which consisted of working men and women from middle America who were tired of “big government” He created the Environmental Protection Agency and signed the Endangered Species Act. Nixon introduced the policy of “Vietnamization” and eventually U.S. troops withdrew from Vietnam. His presidency was plagued with stagflation (high unemployment combined with inflation) and following an embargo placed on oil from OPEC, oil prices skyrocketed. Following the Watergate scandal he resigned in order to avoid impeachment and possible conviction.
Gerald Ford 1974-1979
Gerald Ford was appointed as President following Nixon’s resignation. He had support of both Democrats and Republicans but lost support when he pardoned Nixon for crimes he might have committed associated with the Watergate Scandal. Ford continued talks with the Soviet Union and met with Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev which led to the endorsement of the Helsinki Accords. The document expressed the nations of Europe support for human rights. His future talks with the Soviet Union focused on arms control rather than human rights. Stagflation continued during his presidency as did the OPEC oil embargo. The high cost of energy that resulted from the embargo had a significant impact on the American economy from the cost of heating a home to the prices of food, electricity, and gasoline.
Jimmy Carter 1977-1981 The energy crisis and inflation continued during Carter’s presidency. He
created the Department of Energy to help deal with the crisis. He also created the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to help clean up toxic dumpsites and accidents such as Three mile Island. To help make credit available to poor communities he pushed the Community Reinvestment Act Through Congress. His foreign policy addressed human rights and nuclear arms production. He was in the process of ratifying SALT II with the Soviets but things went south when the Soviets invaded Afghanistan. He was able to establish some peace in the Middle east with the Camp David Accords which consisted of a peace treaty between Israel and Egypt. Things quickly turned for the worse however with the Iranian Hostage Crisis. Several Americans were held for 444 days for U.S. support of the Shah of Iran.
Ronald Reagan 1981- 1989
Following Watergate, the energy Crisis, the Iran Hostage Crisis, and the
crippled economy, the conservative movement gained tremendous momentum. Reagan’s conservative beliefs, charm and optimism convinced Americans he would usher in a new era of prosperity. His economic policy of “Reaganomics” reduced taxes to give more people incentive to work and more money to spend. The Economic Recovery Act of 1981 reduced taxes by 25 percent. He increased defense spending with his “Peace Through Strength” and the national debt rose under his presidency. Drugs and AIDS became a major issue as did low student scores on standardized test. Although he is credited with being president when the Berlin Wall was torn down signaling the end of the Cold War, his foreign policy was tarnished with the discovery of the Iran Contra affair.
George H.W. Bush 1989-1993 George Bush took a leading role in world
affairs and continued the war on drugs. Following Saddam Hussein’s invasion of Kuwait, the United States joined coalition forces in Operation Desert Storm to attack Iraqi troops. The economy moved back to a recession in 1990 and violence broke out in California following the police beating of Rodney King. Bush signed the landmark Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 which protected the rights of people with disabilities in public and the work place. As part of the war on drugs Bush took steps against Panamanian drug dealer Manuel Noriega by invading Panama and placing him under arrest. Under Bush’s presidency the Cold War officially came to an end with the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
Bill Clinton 1993- 2001
Clinton’s domestic policies resulted in the passage of the Family Medical Leave Act to
protect workers’ rights for medical reasons and the Brady Bill which addressed controls on hand guns. His wife Hilary Clinton led a task force on healthcare reform. Under Clinton the economy improved and he balanced the nation’s budget. The growing computer industry and a reduction in military spending helped fuel the economic growth. Clinton was impeached following the discovery of his affair with a white House intern and accusations of lying under oath but a 2/3 vote to remove him from office was not acquired. Clinton pushed NAFTA through congress and GATT was replaced with the World Trade Organization which has accelerated globalization. Although he sent U.S. troops to Somalia to end fighting between rival lords, they were
withdrawn when no further progress was in sight. U.S. troops that were sent to Haiti had more success as they were able to restore Aristide to power after he was removed by Haitian military leaders.
