This power was used to financially exploit the peasant class via crushing tax burdens. The Yellow Turbans, a Daoist revolutionary movement, attempted to seize back the politically corrupt government; however, as with all other attempts, it failed. To make matters worse, epidemics emerged which eradicated roughly half the population.

WHY DID THE WALL STREET CRASH HAPPEN IN 1929? The Wall Street crash which happened on 29 October 1929 was one of the most depressing events in the history of America. This happened because people lost their wages b 60%, 14 million people were unemployed by 1933, banks went bust and also US trade slipped from $10 billion to $3 billion. The Wall Street crash happened due to some reasons: one reason was, the Americans were buying consumer goods on credit, especially cars and houses they did this because, they didn’t have enough money, and therefore if they get the money they will be able to pay. Another reason was that speculation was rife, because people believed the stock market was easy so 20 million Americans invested but only 1.5 million people had serious knowledge of the market.
The collapse of stock market happened because it had a weak foundation. In fact, it was dependent on borrowed money; banks would lend money to the population to buy shares in the market without making sure the borrowers were able to pay back. Moreover, facing the crisis over nine thousand banks were obliged to close, for they invested their client's savings in the stock market. Going through rough time financially, Americans are drastically forced to reduce their spending which lowered the amount of production; therefore, employers slashed the numbers of employees that caused the unemployment rate to rose from 4.2 in 1928 to 8.7 in 1930 and to 23.6 in 1932.

The colonizers took it all away and in some cases thay lost money. Italy’s trade with its colonies resulted in a loss of 1295 million lire. It is apparent that imperialism in Africa was a negative financial drain on the Europeans. However that is just the wealth portion of the loss. The dignity of many Africans was lost as they were forced to do the European’s every bidding.
Everybody knows you're punished for doing something wrong or making a mistake. We're not talking spilled milk here, were talking about people's lives and millions of dollars that is being wasted. Many people and families lost their life savings, millions lost their jobs, and the whole economy crashed because of the actions of these narrow minded people, yet they have not been served justice and still have the large sums of money they got during the economic crash. It's not fair to these people because it's not 100% their faults that they lost their homes. The government tried to bail out the banks, after the bank made a lot of bad loans.
