The 'Dirty Thirties',or 'Dust Bowl',was a period of severe dust storms in North America in the 1930s,caused by extreme drought and decades of intensive farming and land mismanagement. It caused major damage to American and Canadian prairie lands and forced families to migrate in search of jobs and food.
