What does Mr. Butler say people thought about the Great Depression?
That it wouldn't last long.
That it was a good thing.
That it wouldn't affect them.

Explanation: he said the great depression  affected him worse than the civil war because he said it ended opportunities in the country.  this situation increased the poverty level drastically .

the fact that could also be added to column b is that during world war ii, specifically between the years 1941 and 1945, japan expanded its territory towards the indonesian territory in what was known later as part of the "pacific war". in that time, japan could conquer the philipines, singapore,   borneo, central java, malang, cebu, sumatra and various other islands of the area, therefore expanding its territory for a brief period of time.
