The 2008 financial crisis was the most severe economic crisis since the Great Depression, and it had a profound impact on Europe. The crisis led to a sharp contraction in economic growth, a rise in unemployment, and a decline in living standards. In response to the crisis, European governments implemented a variety of austerity measures, which led to further economic hardship and social unrest.
