  • 1929-1932: The Great Economic Depression- The national income of the USA fell by half, factories shut down, exports fell, farmers were badly hit and speculators withdrew their money from the market.
  • In Germany, the industrial production, when compared to that of 1929, had reduced to 40% by 1932.
  • Workers were either paid less or they lost their jobs.
  • The fixed salaried employees and pensioners saw a decrease in their real income as the currency lost its value.

Peninsular Rivers:

  • The peninsular rivers are seasonal and dependent upon rainfall.

  • The rivers have shorter and shallower courses.

  • The drainage basin of the rivers is smaller in size. These rivers do not create alluvium depositional features except at their mouths where they form deltas..

  • The Weimer Constitution had some inherent defects which made it unstable and vulnerable to dictatorship.

9.problem of unemployment from India:

  • High Production targets- In all the budgets the Government aims for more GDP than the previous years. The process of increased production naturally calls for more employment for the people of he country.
  • The government has taken steps to make employment more productive as well. For this it is important to educate the labours and get quality work force. The Government has thus opened a number of night schools for the working mass. The farmers are made aware of recent developments in technology by agricultural scientists too.
