    Explanation
    During the Great Depression, Herbert Hoover was the president of the United States. He assumed office in 1929, just months before the stock market crash that triggered the economic crisis.

    What war was fought for the United State's independence?

    Explanation
    The American Revolution was fought for the United States' independence from Great Britain. It was a war that took place from 1775 to 1783, and it resulted in the formation of the United States as an independent nation. The colonists in America were unhappy with British rule and sought to establish their own government and have control over their own affairs. The war was marked by significant battles such as the Battle of Lexington and Concord, the Battle of Bunker Hill, and the decisive Battle of Yorktown. Ultimately, the American Revolution led to the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1783, which recognized the United States as an independent nation.
