Question

what factors caused the great depression to spread around the world? select three answers.
americans stopped buying from overseas nations.
large numbers of jobless americans moved overseas.
many countries raised tariffs on imported goods.
stock markets started to crash in many other nations.
americans demanded repayment of european loans.

Explanation:

1. "Americans stopped buying from overseas nations" - US was a major consumer; reduced imports hurt other economies.
2. "Many countries raised tariffs on imported goods" - Tariff wars (like Smoot - Hawley) disrupted global trade, worsening the depression's spread.
3. "Americans demanded repayment of European loans" - European nations, already struggling, faced financial strain from loan repayments, affecting their economies and spreading the depression.

The option "Large numbers of jobless Americans moved overseas" is incorrect as jobless Americans moving overseas was not a significant factor in spreading the Great Depression. "Stock markets started to crash in many other nations" was more of a result of the depression spreading rather than a cause of it spreading (the US stock market crash was the initial trigger, and then others followed as the depression spread).

Answer:

A. Americans stopped buying from overseas nations.
C. Many countries raised tariffs on imported goods.
E. Americans demanded repayment of European loans.
