Talk:Great Depression

Semi-protected edit request on 12 February 2025

This page is very inaccurate in terms of Germany depending on US for loans during the 1920’s. Germany was still paying off reputations from its involvement in WW1 to allied nations at the time including the US. Germany was in no position to get loans from a nation that is making them pay dues.

Whoever wrote that Germany was getting loans from the US isn't intelligent in terms of this subject. 72.240.146.243 (talk) 16:21, 12 February 2025 (UTC)

I am going to quick fail this nomination. The nominator is not a significant contributor to the article and the article has several uncited statements, including entire paragraphs. These should be resolved before this is nominated again. Z1720 (talk) 02:04, 8 October 2025 (UTC)

Request to add

under the section Great Depression#Japan.

I would gladly do this edit, but could you tell me why which article is linked with which template? Why is the main article Economic history of Japan and not Shōwa financial crisis? Or why aren't both together "see also"?

I look forward to your reply. Thank you and happy editing,

Oh, sorry @Slomo666. It just so happens that I had already done the edit request, and had not realised you had replied before doing the request, so I'll have to mark it as  Done.

conversion

"In the late 1920s there was a scramble to deflate prices to get the gold standard's conversation rates back on track to pre-WWI levels by causing deflation and high unemployment through monetary policy." i think this ought to be "conversion". ~2026-14696-71 (talk) 22:57, 27 May 2026 (UTC)

Bank regulations in the Roaring 20s

In the lead section, it says that in the 1920s "banks were subject to minimal regulation, resulting in loose lending and widespread debt". This is true in the US, but not in Canada. I don't know about the UK or other countries. Please clarify. --~2026-46640-16 (talk) 05:27, 27 August 2026 (UTC)

Marxism

Why has the Marxist section in the causes been reduced to two lines? "Marxists generally argue that the Great Depression was the result of the inherent instability of the capitalist mode of production." This is so much more general than any other section, and not accurate to the deep research (and historical consensus) of capitalist projects that as likely as not led to the great depression. ~2026-54945-83 (talk) 13:39, 14 October 2026 (UTC)
