How did the US government react to the Great Depression?

By the end of 1933, the government owed $100 million – mostly to the United Kingdom and the United States. Interest payments alone accounted for 63.2 per cent of the country's shrinking income. The government responded to the crisis by borrowing more money from abroad.

What is the relationship between the impact of the Great Depression and the start of WWII?

Reparations imposed on Germany following WWI left the company poorer and economic woes caused resentment amongst its population. The Great Depression of the 1930s and a collapse in international trade also worsened the economic situation in Europe, allowing Hitler to rise to power on the promise of revitalization.

Hope that helped
