Just as it seemed that this might work and that recovery was at hand, in the winter of 1932-33 the banking system in America went into a tailspin.

At first President Hoover tried to organize national optimism by summoning business execs to DC to declare that conditions were sound and that there would not be wage cutting. When that did not work (stop the depression), he became inactive for a while, trusting to the idea that it all would self-correct. When that did not work, he organized an international moratorium in war debts and reparations. This actually did help stem the slide further into depression, but only briefly. Then he set up the Reconstruction Finance Corp. to bring federal aid to hard pressed banks and businesses.

Hoover was an able and intelligent president who attempted orthodox economic ideas, but became a victim to the collapse of the system.

N0. One man can not start a great depression even if he tries to start one and most certainly Hoover did not want to start any kind of depression, let alone a great one.

The Great Depression started in about 1929, official start date of it considered as Black Tuesday on October 29, 1929.

NBER says the recession started in August 1929. Many attribute the start to the stock market crash of October 1929, aka Black Friday, however that is not the case. The stock market rebounded by April 1930. Black Friday was just a symptom of a larger problem, but not the actual cause of the GD.

Hebert Hoover did do nothing really!! He did try Little to fight the Depression but his actions often backfired. For example, he tried to balance the the Federal budget by cutting by cutting government spending and raising taxes. This pulled money out of the economy which made the slump worse. Some of Hoovers actions made him very unpopular. For example, he believed that Federal Relief- aid to the poor- would make people dependent on government. so he would not support giving Relief.

Herbert Hoover got a degree in engineering at Stanford- he was a mining engineer of note and worked all over the world in that capacity.

Herbert Clark Hoover was the 31st President of the United States (1929-1933). In June, 1928, the Republican Party chose Herbert Hoover as its candidate for President of the United States. In November, 1928, Herbert Hoover was elected President of the United States. He was 54 years of age.

he didnt really do anything. he actually spent most his time fishing. He thought of it as a sort of symbolism to man.

FDR's first inaugurall address contained the famous "the only thing we have to fear, is fear itself" quote. Without being too specific, FDR outlined how he hoped to govern and help get the nation out of the Great Depression. He protrayed a leader with confidence and assurance, just what the nation needed at this time. He noted that the country had "common difficulties" but those difficulties were "only material things." This seemed to indicate that the nation was still healthy, the economy would rebound, and the government was going to do its best to help solve the problems.

Franklin Roosevelt did not get the US out of the great depression he streached out the depression and made it worse. We may be in for a very long depression if Obama tries to do the same things that Roosevelt did. Look how long the Roosevelt depression lasted.

William Henry Hoover as married to Nellie Quarles.

once people understood exactly what war was like after World War 1 nobody wanted to volunteer anymore, Businesses and citizens acted in their individual best interests.

No, the only president to own alligators, or at least was known to, was John Quincy Adams.

Hoover was in charge when the stock marketcrashed, and firmly believed that the market would correct itself. Thus he didn't do much of anything, which failed spectacularly, and FDR was able to win the election easily and then implement the New Deal which helped slow and eventually reverse the Great Depression.

NO, Hoover was not a Catholic. He was a faithful Quaker.

Hoover did not have any support from the Bank. Moreover he tried to overcome economic recession with government intervention which did not gain him any favors among the people.

Herbert Hoover was against goverment intervention he hated big goverment and this won him few fans especialy when the great depresion hit, he did not want to bail people out and wanted to let things work out on their own. this led to his loss to FDR

Herbert Hoover won the 1928 presidential election defeating Alfred Smith. In the 1928 presidential election Herbert Hoover received 444 electoral votes and Alfred Smith received 87 electoral votes. The popular vote totals were Hoover 21,437,277 and Smith 15,007,698.

Many say he was a bad president, but it was mostly bad timing. Before he became president he was head of Food administration and helped to feed millions of starving central Europeans. As soon as he became president the great stock market crashed and everyone blamed him for that. Then what really made people mad at him was when veterans gathered in Washington known as The Bonus March. Despite the fact that they were peaceful Hoover dispatched the police to remove them. When a riot broke out he ordered federal troops to help contain them. Instead of being contained the commander used tanks, tear gas, bayonets, and ordered troops to set fire to their shacks. A few veterans and even a few infants were killed, and once again hoover was blamed because he did not publicly criticize the commander. Over all Hoover was blamed for many things he had no control over simply because he was president.

the New Deal was tring to give the economy jobs to work with
