The Dot-Com Bubble occurred in the late 1990s when stock prices for technology companies rose dramatically before crashing in early 2001. As interest in e-commerce and internet companies increased in the mid-1990s, more companies invested in internet businesses, causing stock prices on the NASDAQ exchange to rise from around 1,000 in 1996 to over 5,000 by 2000. However, stock prices then collapsed in 2001 due to overvaluation of companies and terrorism, with NASDAQ stocks falling back under 1,000 by 2002, causing many internet companies to go bankrupt and unemployment to rise.
