Now this is a guess, but i think its because the United States is such a big country. If you think about it, back then and even now we have a lot of ties with other countries. Loans and such between other countries do occur.
Soon, the Depression was spreading to the rest of the world,
especially to Europe. There, the single country that was most affected
was Germany whose very weak economy could not cope with the slow
disappearance of American capital. Let us mention that Germany was
still paying reparations (for World War I), which made its situation
even more delicate. Germany was forced to borrow from Great Britain
and France which could not compensate for the decline in U.S.
lending.5 The trap in which Germany found itself was quite
disconcerting: she had to pursue deficienary policies to gain the
confidence of investors in order to attract foreign funds. At the same
time, devaluaton posed a major problem. It increased the burden of the
external debt (through the exchange rate mechanism) which was payable
in foreign currencies. I think this will help you out.

The major world-event that brought an end to the Great Depression was World War II. Creating a great demand for arms, vehicles, and supplies of all kinds, the war infused economies around the world with renewed activity and even profit, thereby giving life to what had been a general stagnation in many of the world's modern nations.
The Great Depression was a severe worldwide economic depression in the decade preceding World War II. The timing of the Great Depression varied across nations, but in most countries it started in about 1929 and lasted until the late 1930s.
