Oh hey didn't this happen shortly before The Great Depression?

wasn't the thing that ended the great depression a world war? I find that even more concerning.

I'm no history buff but iirc wasn't FDR doing an absolute fuckton to help the people, too?

Well, I'm not sure about other nations, but there was also a lot of new progressive reform such as the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 and The New Deal of 1933 in the USA. I don't really feel like the nazis or japanese had much to do with ending the great depression.
