Banks failed after the stock market crash of 1929 primarily due to their significant investments in the stock market and the subsequent loss of depositor confidence. As stock prices plummeted, banks faced heavy losses on their investments and struggled to meet withdrawal demands from panicked customers. Additionally, the lack of federal insurance for deposits meant that many depositors lost their savings when banks collapsed, leading to a widespread banking crisis and a deepening economic downturn during the Great Depression.
The Wall Street crash of 1929 did not result in a specific number of bank collapses directly linked to the crash itself, but it triggered a series of bank failures throughout the following years. By 1933, over 9,000 banks had failed in the United States due to the economic fallout from the crash and the Great Depression. The financial instability led to a loss of public confidence in the banking system, exacerbating the crisis.
After the Wall Street Crash of 1929, the United States plunged into the Great Depression, a severe economic downturn that lasted for a decade. Unemployment soared, banks failed, and businesses collapsed, leading to widespread poverty and hardship. The federal government responded with various programs and reforms, notably under President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal, aimed at economic recovery and social welfare. The economic landscape dramatically shifted, leading to significant changes in financial regulations and government intervention in the economy.

Between 1929 and 1931, the American economy experienced a severe downturn marked by the Great Depression, which began with the stock market crash in October 1929. Unemployment rates skyrocketed, reaching about 25% by 1933, and many banks failed, leading to a significant contraction in consumer spending and investment. Additionally, industrial production fell dramatically, and the economy struggled with deflation and reduced economic output during this period.
