During the WW1, soldiers need weapons and tanks to fight but, there weren't any jobs to make them. So, the government made thousands of jobs and women were hired to make weapons. After the war there was no need to make weapons, bullets and tanks anyone so it all went down and when the soldiers can home, it was very difficult to find a job and this began the economic depression. Since nobody was finding jobs and there were too many people finding jobs, the economy went down.
