Die Groot Depressie

1929 · global

World prices collapse from October 1929. Wool - the district staple - falls to a fraction of its 1920s price, and South Africa's refusal to leave the gold standard until December 1932 deepens the squeeze. Worth reading the Vrolykheid break-up against: the portions were surveyed in 1934 and transferred in 1935-36, straight out of these years.
