Banks closed in 1929 primarily due to the onset of the Great Depression, which followed the Stock Market crash in October of that year. As stock prices plummeted, many banks faced severe liquidity issues, leading to a loss of depositor confidence. People rushed to withdraw their savings, causing bank runs that further destabilized financial institutions. Ultimately, thousands of banks failed as they were unable to meet withdrawal demands and sustain operations amid the economic downturn.
