The Great Depression occurred before World War II. Herbert Hoover was the President of the United States during that time.
The Great Depression started because of a collapse in the stock market of New York, and then a lot of banks started to fail. Twenty-five thousand banks in the United States failed. This led to many people losing their jobs and becoming unemployed.
