Herbert Clark Hoover was the head of the US government from 1929 to 1933. Prominent politicians dropped out to become the 31 th President in hard times of the Great Depression.

Herbert Hoover (1874 - 1964) had German roots, after graduating from university, he worked in the United States Geology, Industrial Australia and China, as well as a mining engineer in Russia.

Being a well-known expert of mining production was in London when the war began in 1914. It was then that he began to organize help occupied Belgium. In 1917, he was head of the Food Directorate, and in 1921 - Minister of Trade.

It is difficult to overestimate activity Hoover to save the population of Russia in the days of famine 1921 - 1922 period. As head of the American aid organization (ARA), he responded to the appeal of Maxim Gorky's salvation. In total, more than 61 million dollars were spent for the benefit of Russia, which could save the lives of 9 million people. Herbert Hoover, in contrast to most of the great politicians, who send people to death, became the savior of millions.

In the presidential elections of 1928 Republican Hoover won unequivocal victory. He had a lot of plans to reform the economy, but the 1929 stock market crash opened the way to a severe economic crisis, later called the Great Depression. President's initiative did not have the effect, by 1932 production levels dropped significantly, 12 million people became unemployed. The defeat in the elections in 1933 was inevitable.

Traditionally, the head of state was accused of failing to overcome the crisis, but over time it became clear that to resolve these issues quickly impossible. Despite some mistakes, Hoover spent a lot of fruitful reforms and today his political activity is given a high score.
