On October 29, 1930, the stock market crash ushered in the Great Depression, beginning a decade of poverty and hardship. The Depression was only the beginning. Ten years later, World War II began, which would last until 1945. With the end of the war, the world changed forever as the Cold War began, a time of hostility and suspicion between communist countries like the Soviet Union and democratic nations such as Canada, Britain, and the United States.
