The Great Depression was a severe worldwide economic depression sparked by the stock market crash of 1929 in the New York Stock Exchange.This affected almost every country in the world.

Source A shows German children's opposition to the shortages of jobs.USA recalling the loans and deposits which Germany was heavily dependent caused an economic crisis which led to factories,Banks and companies causing millions to lose their jobs,their hard earned savings which led to a social crisis.



Source B:Germans people supporting Hitler


Source B shows more support to hitler then the other parties.When the Reichstag was dissolved and elections were called, more people supported extreme parties such as the Nazi Party and the Communist Party compared to the moderate parties hoping for a change as they were angry and wanted decisive action.Since the previous President did not care about democracy and was a right winged nationalist.

I can infer from the sources that The Great Depression caused a social crisis due to its citizens suffering from poverty, and wanting a change in the people running the country for their opinions are moderate hoping it would change or alleviate the situation.Supporting parties with extreme opinions as they felt that parties of moderate opinions would not offer much change.
