The stock market on Wall Street suddenly crashed when President Herbert Hoover was in office. People had tried selling off all their stocks too fast and at the same time. At the same time, and the stock holders sold it way below their real values so the stock market had collapsed.

The Wall Street Crash coupled with the dust bowl caused a Great Depression, which is the time period in which the book Of Mice and Men is set.
