Read the passage from "The Great Depression,” which is an informational text about one of the greatest economic recessions in history.The pain caused by the Great Depression was felt as far as Australia, where in 1932 unemployment reached a record high of 29%. Civil unrest became common. In France, the depression triggered street riots and strained the nation's social fabric by strengthening both socialists and their far-right opponents.In Great Britain, industrial production collapsed, ship building dropped 90%, and in some towns unemployment reached 70%. In 1934, a "National Hunger March" of jobless workers turned into several days of street fighting in London, during which 75 people were seriously injured.
The passage gives specific facts and examples showing how the Great Depression affected different countries: unemployment reached 29% in Australia, shipbuilding in Great Britain fell 90%, and a hunger march led to injuries. These details support a broader claim about the Depression’s impact, so they are evidence, not the thesis, commentary, or conclusion.
