Herbert Hoover was the 31st President of the United States. He was President during the 1929 Stock Market Crash, and was thus held responsible in the minds of the public for the onset of The Great Depression. His support for Prohibition likewise proved unpopular, and Hoover failed to win re-election against Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1932.
