The Stock Market crash of October 1929 was precipitated by a combination of speculative investments and over-leveraging, where many investors borrowed heavily to buy stocks. By late September 1929, stock prices had reached unsustainable highs, leading to a loss of confidence. On October 24, known as Black Thursday, panic selling began, and the market plummeted. The situation worsened with further declines on October 28 and 29, culminating in a catastrophic loss of wealth and the onset of the Great Depression.
