It started when the American Great Depression began because America called back all of its loans

Answer 2

Sorry, I've cut and pasted, so maybe you won't want to use my answer. I don't believe Jack Lang was an asian person.

The Great Depression officially began in October of 1929, when the stock market in the United States of America crashed. This had a world-wide effect, causing economic and financial hardship in many countries, including Australia. Our country struggled to maintain growth, resulting in massive unemployment with 29% of Australians out of work in 1932.
