Latin America was heavily affected by the Great Depression of the 1930s that spread globally after the stock market crash of 1929 on Wall Street in the US. The Great Depression period in Latin America saw the change in Government ruling, economic and government policies and the economic performance of nations within Latin America are seen in the 1930s period of The Great Depression. The Great Depression, characterised by the economic decline of the US and Britain economy, saw economic decline of economies within the Latin American region due to the reliance on Britain and the US for investment in their economy and demand for the region's exports. The rise in fascist governments, was brought upon by a consensus of nationalist desire during the Great Depression of the 1930s, demonstrated in the ruling of the Vergas government in Brazil from 1930 to 1945. This period further sees a shift in economic and government policy within countries of Latin America, such as Argentina, in an effort to adjust their economy to recover from the conditions created by the Great depression. Latin American countries that were economically impacted by the Great depression include Brazil, Cuba, Chile, Mexico, and Peru

Background
The Great Depression which followed the US stock market crash of 1929 badly affected the countries of Latin America. Chile, Peru, and Bolivia were, according to a League of Nations report, the countries worst-hit by the Great Depression. The rise of fascism also became apparent in Latin American countries in the 1930s due to the Great Depression. Fascist governments were the result of a desire for nationalism, which rulers like Getúlio Vargas of Brazil played on through propaganda. Haiti, for its part, came out of the Great Depression as an independent country after the US pulled out their troops in 1936.
