English: The Dust Bowl refers to the environmental conditions and economic difficulties on the American Great Plains during the 1930s.

A severe drought created massive topsoil erosion and dust storms, and coupled with the Great Depression, resulted in a mass exodus of Migrants out of the Great Plains region.
