What is another name for the Great Depression?

The Big Crash
Black Tuesday
The Economic Downturn
Dirty Thirties

The correct answer is: Dirty Thirties

The Great Depression is often referred to as the "Dirty Thirties" because it was a time of widespread economic downturn and poverty in the 1930s. Many people lost their jobs, homes, and savings, and were forced to live in makeshift settlements known as "Hoovervilles." The other options may also describe events or aspects of the Great Depression, but "Dirty Thirties" is the most commonly used alternative name. Option A, "The Big Crash," may refer to the stock market crash of 1929 that triggered the Great Depression, but does not encompass the entire period. Option B, "Black Tuesday," is also a term used to describe the stock market crash, specifically on October 29, 1929. Option C, "The Economic Downturn," is a broad term that can describe any period of economic decline, but does not specifically refer to the Great Depression.
