Prohibition in the United States caused the Great Depression.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
0 sources for · 5 against

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

Is it true that Prohibition in the United States caused the Great Depression?

Unclear. Several reference sources attribute the Great Depression's onset to the 1929 Wall Street crash and describe Prohibition as ending because of the Depression, rather than causing it. None of the retrieved items directly examines whether Prohibition caused the Depression, so the evidence only partially counters the claim.
