The Dust Bowl of 1936 was a severe ecological disaster that affected the Great Plains of the United States, primarily due to a combination of drought and poor agricultural practices. Over-farming and the removal of native grasses left the soil vulnerable to erosion, leading to massive dust storms that devastated farmland and displaced thousands of families. This environmental crisis exacerbated the hardships of the Great Depression, forcing many to abandon their homes and seek better opportunities elsewhere, particularly in California. The Dust Bowl highlighted the need for sustainable farming practices and government intervention to restore the land.
