1946: The Greatest Depression in US History (prior to 2020)

Historians completely ignore the 1946 Great Depression, which was statistically worse than the Great Depression of 1929-1941*. The was a huge drop in GDP and GNP, and it's been getting worse every time the US government revises its official statistics. Today, we're going to cover the history of the Greatest Depression in US history (at least, prior to 2020, which might be worse).

*Actually 1929-1945, as you'll see if you watch the video fully.

Also, for those crying "Stick to Tanks", this is 100% about TANKS, as you'll see if you actually watch the video... (Did WW2 really get America out of the Depression?)

Videos EVERY Monday at 5pm GMT (depending on season, check for British Summer Time).

ABOUT TIK

History isn’t as boring as some people think, and my goal is to get people talking about it. I also want to dispel the myths and distortions that ruin our perception of the past by asking a simple question - “But is this really the case?”. I have a 2:1 Degree in History and a passion for early 20th Century conflicts (mainly WW2). I’m therefore approaching this like I would an academic essay. Lots of sources, quotes, references and so on. Only the truth will do.

This video is discussing events or concepts that are academic, educational and historical in nature. This video is for informational purposes and was created so we may better understand the past and learn from the mistakes others have made.
