The Stock Market crash of 1929, often seen as a catalyst for the Great Depression, was primarily triggered by rampant speculation, excessive use of margin buying, and a lack of regulatory oversight. On October 24, 1929, known as Black Thursday, panic selling began as investors lost confidence, leading to a rapid decline in stock prices. The crash culminated on October 29, known as Black Tuesday, when millions of shares were traded, resulting in a catastrophic loss of wealth and widespread economic turmoil. This event marked a significant turning point, highlighting vulnerabilities in the financial system and prompting calls for reform.
