- Couples would dance until they either dropped or fell asleep. The winning couple would earn a prize. 
The prizes were sometimes; food, shelter and cash prizes. Cash prizes were the favourite prize because you could buy things you wished for. ]]> 2018-05-23 00:27:10 UTC https://padlet.com/pip_richardson/ot3i7mggobey/wish/262871511 Hoovervilles pip_richardson https://padlet.com/pip_richardson/ot3i7mggobey/wish/262871672 - As people became unemployed they were evicted from their homes. 
- They were constructed of cardboard, tar paper, tin, glass and lumber. 
- Some held thousands of people. Depending on the size of the area, that would effect the size of the Hooverville. 
- Where ever there was a Hooverville, there was a river. They tried to construct the Hooverville's near rivers for the water source. ]]> 2018-05-23 00:28:07 UTC https://padlet.com/pip_richardson/ot3i7mggobey/wish/262871672 The Effect on Europe pip_richardson https://padlet.com/pip_richardson/ot3i7mggobey/wish/262871773 -              Europe was still suffering the reparations of WW1, especially Germany
-              Germany, during the Wall St Crash, was paying off the harsh reparations of the Treaty of Versailles and suffered greatly from the Crash

-              Stocks wouldn’t be back where they were prior to the Crash until 1954
-              Caused by the indulgence of the Roaring 20’s – people using the stock market as a way to gain money
-              Resulted in the loss of work for 12 million people and rates going up every day
-              Resulted in suicide on a record annual high
-              Creation of Hoovervilles by those out of work
-              The stocks reached their record low in winter of 1932. 
-              Resulted in the eventual downfall of President Herbert Hoover – who did next to nothing to help those affected by the Crash and didn’t change his methods that initially caused the crash.
-              Thousands of banks went bankrupt and out of business
-              Industries suffered as well as consumers were out of money and couldn’t afford to purchase things. 
-              Affected Europe

- Hoover was a Republican and supported the belief that people should help themselves.
- This led to him doing practically nothing to support his citizens in their time of need – and also nothing to stop the rapid downfall of the Dow Jones Industrial 
- As the Crash continued and the economic state of the US went downhill, so did Hoover’s unpopularity
- Was voted out of parliament and replaced by Roosevelt, who began to repair the damage Hoover caused.
