Yes, the Stock Market crash did begin the great depression but it wasn't the only cause. The depression was also due to the tariffs/war debt policies, factories producing more than consumers demanded, farm sector crisis, easy credit, and unequal distribution of income. The stock market crash just tipped it all off.

∙ 12y agoNo, the stock market crash of 1929 by itself did not trigger the Great Depression. It was one of the factors leading up to the Great Depression, but it was not the sole cause and maybe not even the main cause. There was a mix of domestic and international conditions and events that caused the Great Depression.
