That is very interesting.

In 1929 after the stock market crashed the politicians in Washington decided to impose Tariffs on all goods coming in from Europe (in an attempt to protect the America worker). Within a year over 60% of all trade world wide stopped, which was one of the main contributors for the world wide great depression. It is unfortunate that history seems to recycle itself.
