**Basic Background Information**
The Dust Bowl happened in the 1930's, specifically from 1930 to 1936. In some regions, The Dust Bowl lasted until 1940 like Texas and Oklahoma. It all started because the natural anchors which help to keep the soil in place, dried up and turned to dust and blew to the Great Plains Regions in big dark clouds. During this, it was very difficult to breathe and walking was difficult due to dust being everywhere.

**Various Pictures**
