FDR uses a democratic governmental system with some cases of executive order for the good of the people. FDR gets almost all of his legislation signed and passed by congress for the good of the people. However, FDR uses executive orders at points in his presidency such as when he had the bank holiday for the inspection of banks. This was not done in harm to the people but for good urgent purposes. Adolf Hitler uses a tyrannized hierarchy system of government. This system put him above all the other people in his country. Since the people see him as the person that they all had to follow, Hitler persuaded his people to do terrible things for him. Hitler and his people killed millions of jews, gays, and gypsies over the course of World War II. Hitler forced his people into helping him out in his mission to create the perfect race by making them feel like they had a purpose. He used lies and power to have his people do all of his dirty work for him. FDR and Hitler both used different styles of government to bring their country out of a

Thousands of investors lost all of their of money and were forced to live on the streets often going without food. This crash led into the Great Depression. The ensuing period of 10 years ranked as the worst period of high unemployment and low business activity in modern times. Banks, stores, and factories were closed and left millions of Americans jobless, homeless, and without food. Many people came to depend on the government or charity to provide them with food. The Depression became a worldwide business slump of the 1930's that affected almost all nations. It led to a sharp decline in world trade as each country tried to protect their own industries. The Depression led to political turmoil in many countries such as Germany where poor economic conditions helped lead to the rise of Hitler. Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected President in 1932 and his 'new deal' reforms gave the government more power and helped slow the depression. The Great Depression ended as nations increased their production of war materials at the start of World War II. This increased production provided jobs and put large amounts of money back into circulation. Several factors led to the great depression. One being the lack of diversification in the American economy.
