The Smoot-Hawley Tariff, enacted in 1930, significantly raised tariffs on imported goods, aiming to protect American industries during the Great Depression. However, it led to retaliatory tariffs from other countries, which exacerbated international trade tensions and caused a decline in global trade. This further deepened the economic downturn in the U.S. and contributed to worsening unemployment and economic stagnation. Ultimately, the tariff is widely criticized for hindering recovery efforts during a critical period in American history.

The Smoot-Hawley Tariff of 1930 significantly raised tariffs on hundreds of imported goods, aiming to protect American industries during the Great Depression. However, it led to retaliatory tariffs from other countries, resulting in a steep decline in international trade. This exacerbated the economic downturn, contributing to widespread unemployment and further deepening the economic crisis. Ultimately, the tariff is often criticized for worsening the Great Depression rather than aiding recovery.
