Great Trade Collapse

A great trade collapse is when the amount of buying, selling and trading of goods between countries suddenly decreases. This decrease can lead to a big decrease in the amount of money some countries have to spend. This can happen when there is a big event, like a war or a pandemic, that affects how countries can trade with each other. When this happens, it can be hard for countries to get the resources they need and can cause their economies to slow down or even stop.
