Australia nicknamed the thirties as the dirty thirties. In eastern and central Europe the solution for depression was dominating the region with fascism, Nazism, Stalinism. These were war oriented economic policies and emphasized heavy industrial development. In East Asia the rise of militarism transpired. In Western Europe, Australia, and the United States a whole list of reforms occurred to find solutions that were not extreme. Roosevelt attempted to use government spending to try to undo the high numbers of unemployment and negative growth. In the end, it would be world war two, which began in 1939, that would end the depression.
