The Great Depression caused financial ills in all the major economic countries. Major European banks went bankrupt, causing alarm in other foreign banks. Great Britain went off the gold standard. The Bank of England no longer redeemed its paper money in gold bullion or coin. Investors feared that all paper money would lose its value so they withdrew $1.5 billion in gold from American banks. This further weakened the global economic situation.

No, the Great Depression started first in Germany (due to payments of WW1 war reparations) then spread throughout Europe before affecting the US. Eventually most countries in the world were affected by it to some degree.
