Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that the Great Depression caused severe economic contraction in countries across the world?

Yes. A reference article on the Great Depression states that worldwide GDP fell about 15% between 1929 and 1932 and that industrial production, trade, income and prices dropped around the world, directly supporting the claim of severe global economic contraction. Several other sources describe the Depression as worldwide and severe but give only partial or comparative coverage.
