Why the Wall Street Crash of 1929?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This was due to 9 factors which where used in the economic boom before:


Banks- banks collapsed as they lent money to customers who eventually could not pay it back


Businesses- Simply, they were making more goods than they could sell
Mass production- they over-produced goods and could not sell the rest

Republican policies- the laissez faire was seen as great but business owners did not control their money well, the tariffs made them unable to sell their products abroad and low tax.


Farmers- prices of their goods fell lower and lower so they couldn't pay their mortgages and debts, which ended up them having to sell their farm.


Dust Bowl- also farmers, the land lost fertility and it was unable to grow their goods.


Wall street crash- Loans were unable to be paid back


Unemployment- factories ( as a result of policies and over-production) had to cut the wages and workforce


Smoot Hawley tariff- first a success, but eventually exports and imports decreased by around 60% each and hoover did not sign it until 1930

How did the Wall Street Crash effect the league of nations?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Wall Street Crash effected the League because it caused reluctant members such as Britain and France less likely to impose sanctions on countries such as Japan when they invaded Manchuria. The Great depression also caused countries such as Japan and Italy to be more aggressive, therefore they invaded countries such as Manchuria and Abyssinia to aid with their recovery and to do with national pride. Due to Britain and France not placing any sanctions further undermined League and led to their inevitable failure.

Where on Wall Street is the bear statue?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Charging Bull (sometimes called the Wall Street Bull or the Bowling Green Bull) is a 3,200 kg (7,000 pound) bronze sculpture by Arturo Di Modica that sits in Bowling Green park near Wall Street in New York City. The depiction of a bull, leaning back on its haunches, with its head lowered and ready to charge, is a symbol of a prosperous financial market.

The sculpture has become a tourist destination in the Financial District. It has also come to be an unofficial symbol of the Financial District itself, and it often appears in the local news media to punctuate stories about optimism in the financial market.

The sculptor, Di Modica, designed and made the statue as a gift to the people of New York City, hoping to bring back optimism after the 1987 stock market crash and as a symbol of the "strength and power of the American people." He spent some $360,000 to create and install the sculpture. He chose a site in Lower Manhattan, placing it under a Christmas tree in the middle of Broad Street in front of the New York Stock Exchange. The sculpture was an instant hit, but since it was placed without a permit, the police removed it to an impound lot. Public outcry was immediate. The NYC Deptartment of Parks and Recreation responded by moving the bull to a spot two blocks south of the Stock Exchange, where it now resides in the plaza at Bowling Green, facing up Broadway.

How good was Wall Street in the 1950s?

User Avatar

Asked by DominicGuyegp7642

Wall Street was the place to be invested during the 1950s. From a starting point of around 2,020 the Dow Jones Industrial Average advanced by about 150 percent to over 5,000 by the end of the decade. In many ways the 1950s was a golden economic age for the United States. As World War II reached its conclusion many of Europe's cities and factories lay in ruins. The United States was the only major developed country with an intact industrial base and a huge pool of workers as G.I.s returned home after the war. The economy boomed throughout the 1950s with strong gains in both personal incomes and corporate profits which translated into higher stock prices.
