Great Crash

The Great Crash, also known as the Great Depression began shortly after the Cairo War with the capture of the Suez Canal, ending in 1922 with the collapse of the United States. The Great Crash would tremendously affect the global status quo, shredding the fabric of a growing world focused on British and American trade.
== World Recession, 1914-1917 ==
The world, in the throes of the Great War, entered an economic recession for various reasons. Global trade was disrupted, and many neutral countries such as Brazil and Chile faced enormous issues when it came to supplying European markets 
Many European countries into 1915-1916 were unable to adequately freely trade as they once were, either be it Germany who faced blockades by the Entente or the French who were throwing everything at the western front. The dramatic shift from a consumerist into a military economy forced all neutral countries, including the United States, to reform and transform their economy even as it destabilized local and regional economies.
== Great Depression, 1919-1922 ==
The end of the Great War initially brought needed stability back into the world economy, but it wouldn’t last. The German Civil War and the Cairo War, following by the start of the Second American Civil War would ultimately throw the global economy into an economic depression the likes of which no one had ever seen before.
The years of 1919-1922 would prove to be the most powerful in terms of the economic depression. During this time, worldwide riots and protests broke out all over the world, from China to Britain to Brazil. Most governments unaffected by the conflict like France struggled to scrap by, as manpower was stretched thin and the value of imports/exports fell dramatically.
