My paper will cover the main contributing factors that led to massive unemployment t and poverty that Americans experienced during this time period. I will also cover the decisions made by the government to resolve this major issue. I want to learn more about on why the great depression was blamed on President Herbert Hoover and explain in my research paper what decisions he made to cause our economy to crash in the 1930's. including the steps that were made to relieve the great depression, what worked and what failed. I also want to learn more about the effects of the budget for World War I on our economy such as the debts (many businesses and farmers invested in mechanization of their operations which were funded by credit) and reparations (damages from the war) that were involved. There are many speculations that the great depression was due to the stock market crash of October 1929; however, in the article by authors Holley, Donald and Trescott, "The Great Depression", one of the contributing factors that resulted to this depression was the wave of bank failures. The article explains goes in more depth of the causes of the great depression. I found this secondary source using Grossmont/Cuyamaca's academic database. In addition, a book by McElvaine, Robert titled," Down and Out in the Great Depression: Letters from the Forgotten Man," can be a useful primary source for my paper because this book includes a collection of letters by Americans that were going through the hardships of the great depression. The textbook also is a great primary and secondary source for this topic. I've found that in Chapter 8: "The Depression, the New Deal, and Franklin D. Roosevelt," depicts different instances in which people of this time dealt with the great depression. I found document number 2 of this chapter to be the most interesting, in which the writer questions the president's actions for the government. The writer magnifies the problems that many were facing and suggest that men women and children are dying from hunger due to lack of food and resources. I have yet to finish this chapter, but I want to do more research involving Franklin D. Roosevelt in relations to the great depression. Throughout this research, I also watched documentary videos on YouTube to be more educated on this topic. Furthermore, I'm interested in this topic because I am a business major and I want to cover the economic mistakes and failures that lead for many Americans to be unemployed as well as their experiences during this time of hardship and poverty.

Please choose a topic that is relevant to a Latin American country, focusing specifically on a theme, person, issue, movement, ideology (I would recommend flipping through your textbook, or choose a topic from the days of European exploration up until 1970 that might be of interest to you). After you have decided on a topic, I want you to think of what kind of sources you will use to write this paper. You will need a minimum of three primary and secondary sources (six total). If you are uncertain about what a primary or secondary source is, please watch the Youtube link below for a brief explanation on what they are. For this assignment, please think of hypothetical sources you think would be relevant for your paper. For example, if you decide to write about the Haitian Revolution during the early 19th Century, what kind of sources would you consider? Take a few moments to think about it...Okay, after you have thought about it, you might think a letter from Napoleon Bonaparte will be useful to better understand French motives on maintaining the institution of slavery on this island. Or, you may also turn to a painting that depicts the daily living conditions of working and/or living on a plantation. How and why the revolution began are important factors to consider as you explore why it was so significant, not just as a historical event, but also how this impacted other social, cultural, and political changes throughout Latin America. Are there any other documents that shed light on this historical period. For something like this, sources vary far and wide from letters, paintings, speeches, and pamphlets. These are just some examples of what you could do with a topic like the Haitian revolution. There are many more topics, so go through your textbook carefully when selecting a topic from one of the chapters. Your topic does not have to be from the textbook per say, but it has to fall within the parameters that I mentioned. ** You are free to pick a topic of your choice, but DO NOT pick a topic that goes past 1970. Other topics include, but are not limited to: Simon Bolivar, Mexican Revolution, California Mission System, etc. 17,614 JAN m A ome Chrome File Edit View History Bookmarks People Window Help 75% 0 Mon 2:24 PM Q !

This speech is one of the primary sources that present the words of the revolutionary
leader Fidel Castro. He addresses workers who had gathered in his support after he had
defeated the sitting president and hence presents insight into his plans for Cuba after the
revolution. The speech will be utilized in understanding Castro’s ideology and how the
revolution allowed him to bring it to life. It will also be used in the research paper to
bring out the leader’s approach to foreign affairs and hence cover the larger issue of the
embargo of Cuba.

Castro’s revolution and why it was deemed necessary. It also reveals a lot about President
Fulgencio Batista and the leadership in the country before the revolution hence shedding
light on the reasons behind it.
