The Depression began during Hoover, not FDR.You blame the FDR Depression on the gold standard?
I blame the length of the US Depression on the gold standard.
The Depression itself was caused by over-speculation in the stock market. Much like the 2008 crash was caused by over-speculation in the real estate and derivatives markets.
