There is lots of debate on when the Great Depression ended in the US. The New Deal almost certainly helped, but was slowed down in 1938 and the country entered a mini recession. It was until World War II when the US entered full military production did the US completely and full recover from the Great Depression which allowed it to enter an economic boom for the next few decades.

Assume that there isn't a New Deal like program or any other economic stimulus. Maybe FDR dies and Garner becomes VP. And assume either WWII doesn't occur or the US doesn't enter it or even enters it much later.

Also assume that worst case civil unrest doesn't occur, so no civil war or bonus army coup.

How long until the US completely recovers from the Great Depression ATL?
