"The British government had cleverly prepared for it -- it's impossible to enter a depression if you never left one."

God bless this channel.

[ghostofgrozny]

The great depression made people realize the necessity of James Bisonette

[theuwutsar]

The main effect the Great Depression had on Japan was the collapse of Rice imports, which would influence Japan's decision to invade Manchuria as a means to prevent a major famine from occurring in Japan

[cassianoneto]

In Brazil, the depression almost single handedly ended 40 years of Oligarchic rule under the Old Republic. The country was ruled by an elite of coffee barons since 1889 that were too powerful for any other group in the country to oppose. Then came the depression and the export economy of coffee collapsed, allowing the opposition to launch an armed insurrection that overthrew the Old Republic in 1930 and began the Vargas Era, that saw the beginning of widespread industrialization, rights for the lower classes and the concept of “class pacification” that Brazil still practices to this day.

We really need videos like this. Even in the UK, the Great Depression always seems to be taught from a US/German perspective.

[panqueque]

"It's impossible to enter a depression if you never left one"
Genius

[TK_Brainslug]

"The Japanese economy was much more prepared for foreign adventures." That cracked me up so hard

[lucianoosorio]

"A bad economy, and weak governments meant that the people are a little too unhappy."

[maxkennedy]

The depression and its instability had a huge effect on boosting the power of Japanese ultranationalists, who used it as justification for autarky and the required conquering of the Pacific if Japan was to survive

[quinasreveure]

One thing i find weird is that, even though we've seen this in school, i never really learned the effects of the Great Depression from my country's perspective (México)
Even by being our neighbour, the little i can recall we saw about was that the post-revolutionary war economic recovery was so big that we were relatively untouched by the Great Depression, something that i don't know how to feel about it

[arishokqunari]

Wait, there were US Americans emigrating to the Soviet Union? That's a story I'd love to know more about

[binaway]

My mothers uncle (at 17yo) left England for Australia at the beginning of the depression. His travel expenses paid for by the non government Big Brother Movement (BBM). He had been told the depression had not hit Australia and there was plenty of jobs to be found. In fact Australia had gone from for a strong economy to a basket case in a matter of weeks. When his boat arrived at Sydney harbor there were hundreds of people with signs saying "go home poms don't steel our jobs". He wondered what had he come to done. The BBM had found him a job delivering mail on horse back in an outback rural area. He previously had never ridden a horse in his life and had to learn on the job. The last man in was given the worst mail round which meant he had to get up before 4am and didn't get back until after 9 pm. Food was provided, as part of the job with his pay docked, but breakfast commenced at 6.30am and dinner was available until 7.30pm. There was no shops in the sparsely populated region. He had to complain to his boss that he was starving. He ended up with one meal a day of cold leftovers. It was better than nothing but not much better.

Love your vids bro you actually need a award for the most simple yet amazing art

[mcalkis]

Good thing James Bisonette was able to build his immense fortune around the depression.

[itzadam]

Video idea as a loyal Patreon supporter: Why was Finland 🇫🇮 given autonomy in the Russian Empire?

[harrisonlee]

The Mussolini SI SI SI facade is my favourite running gag/background character.

[tomm]

It's a shame you don't do the 10 plus minute videos anymore. Hard to fit in so much information about so many different countries in three and a half minutes

[truesavagejack]

"The British government had cleverly prepared for it -- it's impossible to enter a depression if you never left one."

The greatest :D

Well done sir!

[TheLegoMaster]

I wish you also covered how the depression affected countries in South America because I’ve been curious about how it impacted them.

[velocitor]

Would love to hear your channel explain how/why Kruzchev was overthrown/ pushed out of power, and how Breznev was the one who replaced him.
