based on the results in the map, who did americans blame for the great depression?
(there is a map with the year 1932 shown)

Explanation:

1. For the first question: The Great Depression began in 1929, while World War II government spending started in the 1940s, so it could not be a cause. Overproduction, banking failures, and over-consumption/debt are all widely cited causes of the crisis.
2. For the second question: President Hoover favored trickle-down economics, which focused on supporting businesses and wealthy individuals in the hope prosperity would flow to lower classes. The other options are unrelated to his economic response to the Depression.
3. For the third question: The 1932 map references a presidential election where Franklin D. Roosevelt defeated Herbert Hoover. Voters blamed Hoover for failing to address the Great Depression, as shown by his landslide loss.

Answer:

1. Increased government spending in World War II
2. Trickle-down economics
3. President Herbert Hoover
