The Environmental Crisis

  • A severe drought in ​1930​ ruined crops for ​17 million​ Americans in the eastern USA.

  • In ​1932, high winds created dust storms across the Great Plains. In ​April 1933, ​179​ small dust storms were recorded, ​38​ of which were severe "​black blizzards."

  • The storms blew away fertile topsoil, making farming impossible and causing widespread farm failure.

  • Between ​1930 and 1935, around ​1 million​ people migrated from the Great Plains to states like California. These migrants were nicknamed "​Okies."
