In the 1930s, particularly during the Great Depression, widespread unemployment and poverty led to significant social problems related to property ownership and housing. Many families faced foreclosure and eviction, resulting in increased homelessness and the proliferation of makeshift shantytowns, known as "Hoovervilles." The economic strain exacerbated class divisions and social tensions, as those who lost their homes often struggled to access basic necessities, leading to heightened desperation and unrest in communities. Additionally, racial and economic inequalities in property access further intensified social discord during this tumultuous period.
During the 1930s some social issues were prohibition and women's rights. Civil rights for minorities was another social issue of the 1930s.

Economic problems in many European countries during the 1920s and 1930s were primarily caused by the aftereffects of World War I, including massive war debts and reparations. The global Great Depression, which began in 1929, exacerbated these issues, leading to high unemployment, deflation, and a decline in industrial production. Additionally, protectionist policies and unstable currencies further hindered economic recovery, creating widespread social and political unrest.
