The situations you've listed are reactions to the Great Depression, which occurred mainly during the 1930s. The Great Depression was characterized by a stock market crash in 1929, over-speculation, excessive borrowing, and subsequent economic hardship, including overproduction in various sectors like agriculture, leading to plummeting prices and suffering for farmers while industrial workers faced low wages.
