Notes

The Hawley-Smoot Tariff of June 1930, which raised already high import duties on more than twenty thousand goods to their highest level in a hundred years, was considered by some historians as a contributing factor to the start and severity of the Great Depression and also fed political extremism helping to push Adolf Hitler into power in Germany.
