The Great Depression
The Great Depression started on October 1929 with the end of the war and continued through the 1930’s. The Great Depression happened as a result of the devastating aftermath of the World War (World War 1). Socially, Politically, and Economically there were huge changes during this time, particularly to the working class. During this period several extreme political parties were formed. However unlike Europe they were unable to take hold.Human suffering became a reality for millions of Australians as the depression continued. Many died of disease resulting from malnutrition. Thousands lost their homes because they could not pay the mortgage, they then wandered the streets looking for food, shelter, clothing and more importantly jobs. Many people who lost their homes remained in their immediate community. Some crowded into the homes of relatives, others moved to a shabby section of town and built shacks from flattened tin cans and old crates. The ragged travelers found clothing harder to obtain than food. Missions gave most of the clothing they had to needy local people first. Some of the travelers became ill because they did not have proper food and clothing, but the Hospitals helped the local people first.
