A portrait of a pea picker during the time the Great Depression hit the world.
It decipits how hard life is during the time in 1929 when it began. But however this picture is in the 30s but it began in the late 20s.

Following the Stock Market Crash on October 29th, 1929, the Great Depression has begun and is a swift but noticable event, which made everyone depressed, as its name suggests. The Great Depression was responsible for many later events and it leds to partly debt for many countries, arguments, and eventually the Second World War. I think this was a important event in my decade because it all started in that year 1929 and became one of the most infamous event in the history of mankind. Not only did it made many people starve to death, it created debts and led to the ulimate World War 2. It also went on for many years and made liberal defense weakened, causing many guys like Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and Benito Mussolini gain major gains.
