(Originais Teachy 2024) - Question Hard of History

The Crisis of 1929, also known as the Great Depression, was not limited to the United States, where it originated, but had global repercussions, affecting the economies of various countries differently. In Brazil, for example, the impact was intensely felt, especially due to international economic interdependence and the vulnerability of Brazilian exports. The disintegration of the international market, the fall in prices of primary products, and the difficulties in obtaining external credit were just some of the challenges faced by the country. According to the Brazilian philosopher and economist Roberto Campos, 'Brazil, heavily dependent on its exports, suddenly found itself in need of restructuring its internal economy, facing the impossibility of maintaining the import and export standards in place before the crisis.' Considering the historical context and Roberto Campos' analysis, discuss how the conjunction of factors such as the post-World War I period, the American overproduction policy, and the prevailing economic practices in Brazil contributed to exacerbating the repercussions of the 1929 Crisis in Brazilian territory.
