Herbert Hoover
Herbert Hoover served as the 31st President of the United States from 1929 to 1933, during the onset of the Great Depression. His initial response to the economic crisis was marked by a belief in limited government intervention, which led to widespread criticism as unemployment soared and economic conditions worsened. Hoover's policies were seen as ineffective, paving the way for Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal.
