Abstract
1930 was a troublesome year for the United States and the entire world. The Great Depression troubled every economy and even highly industrialized countries struggled to stay afloat. This time was especially challenging for underdeveloped countries such as China. Because of China's underdeveloped economy, its government was, for the most part, unable to help the citizens starving in the countryside. Compounding this problem was the civil war to the north. The government pulled the majority of its troops to the north to help put down the rebellion. This left the south empty of military protection and ripe for bandit attacks. As the bandits' success grew, so did their numbers, as many of the once law-abiding citizens turned to banditry as a means of survival.
