    I don't know the exact dates, but didn't agriculture on the southern plains of the United States collapse at the same time. We talk about the dust bowl, but wasn't there a famine that accompanied it?

    Edit: The Grapes of Wrath is about a famine, right?

      Dustbowl caused a lot of crop failure. I've never seen a number that died because of it.

      Wonder if they actually had breadlines or not and if there's pics of it to use to screw with people who think it's in Soviet Union.

      I've never seen any mention of a real famine being associated with the dust bowl. I think it mostly just caused a migration from where those crop failures occurred. I'd have to imagine the deaths would be comparatively way lower than actual famines
