The Great Depression and Isolation
The good times all came to an end with the stock market crash of October, 1929. A Great Depression kept the United States frightened and poor for most of the 1930's. By 1933, Franklin Delano Roosevelt was President. He instituted dozens of social programs in a largely unsuccessful attempt to roll back the Depression. The government grew even larger. Despite growing international troubles, large segments of the American public became isolationists, strong believers in avoiding participation in Europe's wars.
