Let's break down the question step-by-step and analyze the data:

1. Finding the largest decline in foreign trade:
- For the US, the decline in foreign trade is 70%.
- For Britain, the decline is 60%.
- For Germany, the decline is 61%.

Comparing these values, the US has the largest decline in foreign trade at 70%.

2. Finding the greatest increase in unemployment:
- For the US, the unemployment increased by 607%.
- For Britain, the increase is 129%.
- For Germany, the increase is 232%.

Comparing these values, the US has the greatest increase in unemployment at 607%.

3. Finding the country least affected by the Great Depression:
To determine the overall impact, we consider the absolute changes in industrial production, foreign trade, and unemployment for each country.

First, calculate the overall impact for each country:
- For the US: [tex]\( | -46 | + | -70 | + 607 = 46 + 70 + 607 = 723 \)[/tex]
- For Britain: [tex]\( | -23 | + | -60 | + 129 = 23 + 60 + 129 = 212 \)[/tex]
- For Germany: [tex]\( | -41 | + | -61 | + 232 = 41 + 61 + 232 = 334 \)[/tex]

Comparing these values, Britain has the smallest overall impact with a sum of 212.

Based on these analyses:

1. The largest decline in foreign trade occurred in the US.
2. The greatest increase in unemployment occurred in the US.
3. Britain was the least affected by the Great Depression.

So, the statements should be completed as follows:

- According to the chart, the largest decline in foreign trade occurred in the US.
- The greatest increase in unemployment between 1929 and 1932 occurred in the US.
- According to the chart, Britain was least affected by the Great Depression.
