Question

In​ 1930, the U.S. government attempted to help domestic firms that were harmed by the Great Depression by passing the SmootminusHawley Tariff. In response to this​ tariff, other countries​ ________ and international trade​ ________.

Answer 1

In response other countries raised their tariffs and international trades collapsed

Step-by-step explanation:

The reaction that other countries took was the one of raising their tariffs, making it more difficult for the United States to go out of that depression since it was technically impossible to import goods and people who were jobless just could afford to buy domestic products. Later, in order to face the situation, between the years 1931 to 1941 several reciprocity agreements were negotiated.
