Great Depression/New Deal Short Term Causes - The mad rush of people pulling their investments from the stock market and banks, people defaulting on loans Long Term Causes - Over speculation in the stock market, over use of credit for purchase, countries being unable to pay their debt from WWI, and overproduction

Great Depression/New Deal FDR's Response- He responded by taking action and discussing the situation with "The Brain Trust", he decided to implement the New Deal policies which consisted of the Hundred Days, a 100 day time period that consisted of a record amount of new legislations that were created with the idea of domestic reform and relief based on FDR's three R's; Relief, Reform, and Recovery.

Great Depression/New Deal What was included in the 1st new deal? (See cheat sheet) It set up the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) so that investors' money was guaranteed safe in banks that were members (most of which today are). Also, the Securities and Exchange Commission(SEC) which set guidelines for the stock market to prevent speculation like that that led to the Great Depression. Was the new deal successful in getting us out of the depression? The new deal plan provided relief with new jobs, banking reforms, fiscal reforms, and monetary reforms that created a safety net for the falling American economy. The start of WWII however is what pulled the economy out of depression.
