It can be inferred that the nations that FDR is referencing in this speech are Nazi Germany, Japan, and Italy.

The farmers also let the soil become weak by not letting the soil regain its nutrients. “The Grapes of Wrath” A book written by John Steinbeck which depicts a family on a search for a new job in California. They were spurred by advertisements that seemed to describe California as a heaven, a utopia. However, this was not the case. The Grapes of Wrath depicts the conditions of families during the Great Depression, and can be connected to the Dust Bowl, with many families moving to the west in search for economic opportunities to support their families. Prohibition The Prohibition of alcohol. There was an act that caused the prohibition of alcohol, and it was one of the costliest mistakes that FDR made. By prohibiting alcohol, it caused people to find work-arounds to getting alcohol, promoting criminal acts that were supposed to have bene lowered due to the prohibition of alcohol.
