What was the main cause of the recession?
The collapse of the US stock market.
Actually the cause of the Great Depression was the uncontrolled inflation, rising unemployment, and resulting depression in Germany caused by the enormous war reparations demanded by the Treaty of Versailles. The depression in Germany spread across the countries in Europe first through the 1920s, then finally hit the US too in 1929.
Unfortunately many people in the US seem to think (yes, I've lived in the US all my life) that all the world pivots about events here. Our history books in school teach that and we are generally very naive about how events in the rest of the world affect us.
The collapse of the US stock market and rapidly falling prices for farm crops were just the first two things in the US economy that felt the oncoming wave of worldwide depression begun in Germany a decade earlier. Then the bank collapses, then massive unemployment. at which point the US finally named it the Great Depression.
