possible to point to just one factor. Instead a

combination of domestic and worldwide

conditions led to the Great Depression. The

effects of the Great Depression were

detrimental across the world. Not only did it

lead to the New Deal in America but more

significantly, it was a direct cause of the rise of

extremism in Germany leading to World War

II.

It is not possible to give a definitive list of all

the causes of the Great Depression. Here

Stock Market Crash of

1929

Many believe erroneously that the stock

Great Depression. In fact, it was one of the

major causes that led to the Great Depression.

Two months after the original crash in October,

stockholders had lost more than $40 billion

dollars. Even though the stock market began to

regain some of its losses, by the end of 1930, it

just was not enough and America truly entered

Throughout the 1930s over 9,000 banks failed.

stopped being as willing to create new loans.

This exacerbated the situation leading to less

and less expenditures
