FDR put the "Great" in the "Great Depression". Lots of other places - from Britain to Australia - took a hit in 1929 but, alas, they lacked an FDR to keep it going till the end of the Thirties. That's why in other countries they refer to it as "the Depression", but only in the US is it "Great".
(I'm confident President Obama will be able to bring us the world's first Totally Awesome Depression.)
