The Great Depression of 1929 was because of the Wall Street (stock market) Crash. There are many reasons that lead to the crash, mainly because after WW1 (1920's) were really positive for some, but very bad for others unnoticed. So all the underlying negatives in society were not targeted such as over production, banks not being guaranteed (private owned), falling prices and the main sources of income (eg building houses) was slowing. Basically from the 24th to the 29th of October people were selling their shares in fear which in itself reduced share prices until they were virtually priceless.

The Great Depression affected the world, and although in America the president introduced the 'New Deal' and 'Second New Deal' to attempt to fix society, it never really healed until WW2.
