US History help!!!!!!?

Hoover became President when the Great Depression Began. He was President from 1929-1933 (was elected in 1928). The Great Depression started when the stock market crashed in October 1929. No one man is responsible for the Great Depression, it was inevitable, and was America's fault. If anybody received the most blame however, it was President Franklin D. Roosevelt (1933-1945), because many believe his "New Deal" program extended the Depression longer than it would have lasted if it was allowed to sort itself out, rather than the government getting involved (many New Deal programs are still used today)
