It caused FDR to be elected and he moved the nation towards the CCC (the civilian conservation core) which gave people government jobs of building bridges and roads and buildings across the U.S. For example, I have stayed in Timberline Lodge which I believe was constructed by the CCC on Mt. Hood, Oregon and it is still an incredible place to stay with majestic views looking south and East and West from Mt. Hood at around 6000 feet with Ski lifts both above and below it for skiing any time of year there is snow there. I have skied there closer to Government Camp in the winter and I have also skied there in June or July higher on the glacier in the summer.
The other thing that came out of the Great Depression is Social Security, Medicare, and unemployment compensation which did not exist before. Then World War II brought the United Nations because the way the world had dealt with World War I after it was over directly created world war II. So, the United Nations was a way for nations to speak with each other and come to more agreements to avoid future world wars that were completely unnecessary. Also, World war II created the Atom bomb which then created the Hydrogen bomb which caused the necessary end of all large wars ever after even though people didn't realize this at first and just thought we were all dead in the 1950s. People were slow to understand that humans don't want to nuke themselves completely out of existence and that this is a universal desire not to end life on earth except in terrorists who are crazy to begin with.
Here is a map of Mt. Hood, Oregon I believe:
