Great Depression and Dust Bowl Timeline

By deeyong
  • Who and What Started this event?

    It all began when the farmers started to farm on Great Plains. Which then, after led to the systematic destruction of the grasses in the prairie. Because of that overgrazing also destroyed large areas of the grassland. Because of all these new plantations and new stuff the land was laid very bare and had significant damage to the environmental system.
  • Where did this all happened???

    This all happened in Oklahoma in 1936 or somewhere in the 30's. With the oncoming of the Drought coming in on the land. The overgrazed land began to blow away because of such high winds. Some of the winds began to make billowing clouds of dust. Around that time the sky's would darken for days and days.
  • When did it happened?

    This had happened in 1930 and almost to the point where there is almost a big tornado in the state/country. Around 1939 there was a director who explained a family during and airplane flight in the dust bowl.
