8:15 fun fact: the reason the farmers life continues as normal is because their life was already hit by the Great Depression far before the market crash. They were already in the gutter before it even started. You can’t crash down if you’ve already hit rock bottom. The roaring 20s for farmers were not roaring at all. But then the dust bowl hit setting a whole new level of low. Just a quick history lesson.
Those were the times when democratically elected presidents were taken down by Dictatorships financed by the United States in Latin America :D The 60s were horrible
Drew: Farmers in history are just like a really powerful force Ukrainian farmers towing Russian tanks with their tractors: *No lies detected* The punching bag of Africa is definitely Egypt. Think about it...they've been ruled by foreigners for *TWO THOUSAND* consecutive years. Persians, Greeks, Romans, different caliphates, Ottomans, and then the Brits. That's a pretty long time!
Paraguay was left with just 1/5 of their formerly male Population. The Situation was so bad that colombia offered all the survivor the nationality because they thogth Paraguay was not going to exist as a country anymore.
Most of Africa, Bolivia, Paraguay, Phillipines, Poland all got the beating But i feel like Phillipines won't get colonized anymore because... *America* And they are also holding up their army pretty good over there.
Hey Drew, regarding your question about France and Quebec, in Canadian history class we learned that after the colonial period (in the 1900s), Quebec adopted an attitude of isolationism. They don't care about France because they've been separated from them for so long, I believe they actually were against joining the first world war due to how isolationist the province was. So basically, Quebec didn't care about France.
@@someguy2744 Why? France didn't care about Québec and abandoned us so why should we care about them? De Gaulle was the first French politician to even publicly acknowledge that France basically just left us to die and who tried to make up for it but he did that after the world wars.
The war they make reference in the case of Paraguay was the war against the triple alliance, I think, in which Paraguay stepped up to defend Uruguay against Argentina and Brasil, but Uruguay changed team and the three of them just massacred Paraguay. More than 90% of male population in Paraguay Is estimated to have died, almost 50% of the population.
@@alexread6767 when a war starts in a very very poor country with almost no data of its population, you don't know how many soldiers are you sending to die, you don't know how many men you have left back home until you read documents about villages not having any men at all

The farmers and businessmen of the 1930’s is so true. My great grandparents and many of their siblings had moved to Dallas for work when the Great Depression happened, and you couldn’t find fresh food anywhere. So every two weeks, one of the siblings would make the drive back to their family farms in Central Texas to get milk, eggs, meat, etc for the ones living in the city. Just something I learned during my ancestry research.

4:00 Franz Ferdinant was one of the biggest supporter for Serbs in the empire. The fact that he was the one to be killed and not some other nobility (aside from being the successor to the throne, ofc) pushed both Austrian and Hungarian thrones forward with the logic "He supported them and look what they did to him!
