3 Who was involved in the great Depression? The Great Depression of the 1930s was an economic disaster that severely affected most nations of the world. Australia was one of the hardest-hit countries in the western world along with Canada and Germany.

4 When and where did the great Depression take place? The Great Depression started in 1929 and went until 1932 The great depression caused several upsets to the economical power and the social balance of Australia. Australia's government could no longer gain capital to ease the impacts of the great depression on the people nor could it borrow any more money from Britain. Unemployment rates soon flew high and people could not pay rents or get food for their families. They could not borrow from banks either because the banks also relied heavily upon overseas investment
