The Dust Bowl not only was an enviornmental disaster, it forced the farmers in the Plains and mid-west to leave their farms and head west. They became a new class of citizens-the migrant workers, following the crops from season to season to find work. The loss of their farms and the lack of their products being sent to market affected the entire nation. The dust blew across the nation and into Washington, DC. The congress finally acted and created the Soil Conservation Act.

Did the Great Depression happen before or after WW 2?

No, the Great Depression was from the stock market crash of 1929 to 1933. Many believe that FDR's New Deal programs ended the Depression. Some of the programs helped of course, but so did Hoover's and he gets blamed for the whole thing. WWII is what finally ended the depression. It stimulated the economy by forcing the government to pay companies to manufacture war goods and forced people to cut personal costs in order to send supplies to the troops.
