Depression and War (1930-1945)
From: The History of Montréal
$1.20
From 1930 onwards, Montreal went through a rocky period that would last for some 15 years. The Great Depression nipped the hopes of the previous decade in the bud and plunged the city into a profound slump that affected its population to varying degrees. The seemingly endless depression was followed by the Second World War, which brought prosperity back, but only further delayed a return to normal life.
