- emodendroket 8y agoI think the Great Depression could plausibly have ended with the total collapse of the US government if not for the combination of the New Deal and the WWII-driven stimulus. I guess the problem with answering this question definitively is the counterfactual nature. Who's to really say what things would have been calamitous that ended up not turning out to be?
