5	How/Why did it happen? The stock market crash caused the depression.
6	What were the damages? Now it wasn’t like the Titanic or anything where many died but people still died. But many people were unemployed and lost their homes. Some people died of starvation
7	Could this disaster have been avoided? We think that this could’ve been avoided because they weren’t very careful with there money and afterwards weren’t very optimistic with the loss.
8	What has happened since the disaster? People have been very careful when buying stocks and spending money, and some people who lived during the depression are very paranoid about there money and food supply. Some people only bathe once every week because of the way that they were impacted by the depression.
9	Other countries Some things that had happened in other countries during the depression. In Germany: the events around the world hit Germany and it was beyond there control, they wanted to find a way to get out of it and that is when Hitler rose and took power. In Japan the exports dropped over 50%. And there were over 3 million unemployed. These are only some countries that suffered from the depression.
