Why did many banks collapse in the early 1930's?
It was because of the great depression, which meant the stock market crash. Of course the stock market crashing would cause the money to drop in its worth for example if you had £1000 it would drop down to £10 (just an example). People had money stored in banks, so the bank would owe the people lots of money but the money would be worth less so they would need more money to repay the people, but in fact they didn't have enough, in turn this caused the banks to crash.
