The Dust Bowl was a severe environmental disaster during the 1930s, primarily affecting the Great Plains of the United States, where prolonged drought and poor agricultural practices led to massive dust storms. This catastrophe devastated crops and farmland, forcing many farmers and migrant workers to abandon their homes in search of better living conditions. Migrant workers, often already struggling, faced intensified competition for low-wage jobs, while tenant farmers lost their livelihoods and were pushed into deeper poverty. The Dust Bowl significantly contributed to the migration of people, particularly to California, in search of work and stability.
