Answer 1

Here’s the correct order of events that led to the Great Depression from your list:

1. Farmers in the Great Plains enjoyed great prosperity starting at the turn of the century.
2. The crop prices rose after the federal government purchased excess crops during World War 1.
3. The need for extra crops decreased after the war, and the price of wheat dropped sharply.
