World War I put many countries in debt. Plus, the Treaty of Versailles, which ended it, punished Germany heavily. When the Stock Market crashed, and Europe could not pay its debt, the Great Depression occurred. When Germany started to resent the treaty, Hitler was elected because he promised to end Germany's suffering.
A reason one should care about the great depression is that such an event could possibly happen again. Economists, sociologists, and politicians can learn alot by studying the events leading up to the great depression and hopefully come up with ideas and plans to prevent such a catastrophic event in the future.
