Did Tariffs Affect the Great Depression?

Sen. Ben Sasse explains in PolitiFact how the current trade war is “dumb” and “a road we’ve already been down.” Now, the question is, is this true? According to the article it is, but the question is still up for debate.

Professor of History, Andrew Wender Cohen was noted in the article stating, “Economists today debate the tariffs’ effect on the Great Depression — some feel it substantially worsened the downturn, while others think its negative effect was small.”
