The Stock Market Crash of 1929 occurred due to several underlying economic problems that emerged in the 1920s. Farmers were producing more crops than could be sold at a profit, consumers and farmers were taking on increasing debt, and basic industries were struggling. Speculation in the stock market was rampant, with many buying stocks on margin using borrowed money. On October 24, 1929, the stock market took a major plunge as panic set in and investors unloaded their shares. The selling accelerated on October 29, known as "Black Tuesday," with over 16 million shares dumped. By November, investors had lost around $30 billion. Bank and business failures followed as banks had invested in the stock market and many were forced to close.

1929 Wall Street Crash
The document discusses the Wall Street Crash of 1929 and the Great Depression. It describes how rampant speculation in the stock market led to a bubble that burst in October 1929, precipitating the Great Depression. As stock prices plummeted, banks collapsed and unemployment rose sharply. The crash had worldwide effects due to economic interdependence and protectionist policies. Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected in 1932 on a platform of reform with his New Deal programs, which helped regulate the economy and provide relief. World War II eventually pulled the US out of the Depression by stimulating industrial production. The crash demonstrated the need for government intervention to ensure stability.

The document summarizes the onset of the Great Depression in the United States beginning with the stock market crash of 1929. It describes the struggling economy of the late 1920s due to falling farm prices and consumer spending. The stock market crash signaled the beginning of the Great Depression, causing widespread bank failures and plummeting GDP. Unemployment skyrocketed to 25% by 1933. President Hoover initially believed the economy would recover on its own but as conditions deteriorated he took more action, though it was too little too late to save the economy or his chances of re-election in 1932.
5 Main Causes of the Great Depression
The document analyzes 5 main causes of the Great Depression:
1) The Farm Depression of the 1920s caused by falling prices and overproduction in farming. Many farmers lost money and their farms.
2) Overproduction in industry where wages did not rise enough for workers to buy the surplus factory output.
3) Uneven distribution of income where industrial wages rose slowly compared to a 75% rise for the top 1% of incomes.
4) High tariffs and war debts where European nations owed the US money but their economies were devastated so they could not buy US goods.
5) The 1929 stock market crash where many investors bought on margin and prices dropped, causing brokers to call in loans
Great depression ppt presentation
The Great Depression was caused by a combination of factors in the late 1920s and early 1930s, including unchecked speculation on credit, poor government policies, and a weak global economy recovering from World War I. The stock market crash of 1929 greatly exacerbated the economic crisis. As banks collapsed and millions lost their jobs, poverty and homelessness spread rapidly across the US. In response, President Franklin D. Roosevelt introduced his New Deal programs in the 1930s, which focused on relief, recovery, and reform through massive public works projects, the establishment of social security and financial regulations, and other initiatives aimed at revitalizing the economy. However, the Great Depression was not fully reversed until American involvement in World War II boosted industrial production.

The Great Depression
The Great Depression was a period of high poverty and unemployment from 1929 to 1941 that was caused by a stock market crash, drought, and overproduction. Farm prices fell after WWI and a drought ruined crops in the 1930s, causing farmers to lose their land. There was also uneven wealth distribution and consumers bought goods on credit, leading to less spending. In October 1929, the stock market crashed as stock prices dropped quickly, resulting in bank failures and many people losing their life savings. Unemployment rose to 25% in 1933 and people lost their homes, forming shantytowns, during this hopeless time of economic despair.

The Great Depression (1929-39) was the deepest and longest-lasting economic downturn in the history of the Western industrialized world. In the United States, the Great Depression began soon after the stock market crash of October 1929, which sent Wall Street into a panic and wiped out millions of investors. Over the next several years, consumer spending and investment dropped, causing steep declines in industrial output and rising levels of unemployment as failing companies laid off workers. By 1933, when the Great Depression reached its nadir, some 13 to 15 million Americans were unemployed and nearly half of the country’s banks had failed. Though the relief and reform measures put into place by President Franklin D. Roosevelt helped lessen the worst effects of the Great Depression in the 1930s, the economy would not fully turn around until after 1939, when World War II kicked American industry into high gear.

End of WWII
The document summarizes the key events of the European theater from June 1944 to May 1945. It describes the Allied invasion of Normandy in June 1944 and breakthrough in July. It then discusses German resistance and failed assassination attempts. Key cities like Paris were liberated as the Allies scored victories into Germany. The Germans launched a surprise offensive in December known as the Battle of the Bulge but were soon stopped. By early 1945 the Germans were retreating into their homeland as the Soviets advanced from the east. Finally, Berlin fell and Hitler committed suicide in April 1945, leading to Germany's unconditional surrender in May 1945.
Beginning WWII
In September 1939, Germany invaded Poland using blitzkrieg tactics, leading Britain and France to declare war on Germany. The USSR also invaded Poland from the east. Through early 1940 Germany invaded and occupied Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg. In May 1940, Germany launched a surprise attack through the Ardennes forest, bypassing the Maginot Line and surrounding Allied forces in France. Nearly 340,000 Allied troops were evacuated from Dunkirk in June. Later that month Paris fell and France surrendered, signing an armistice in the same railcar used in 1918.

Twenties
The 1920s was a decade of social, political, and economic change in the United States. After World War I and the Russian Revolution, there was a "Red Scare" where fear of communism led to attacks on radicals. The 1920 election saw a return to "normalcy" under Warren Harding. The decade saw rapid economic growth driven by new industries like automobiles, installment buying, and advertising. However, scandals plagued Harding's administration. Socially, Prohibition sparked crime while new freedoms for women and the Harlem Renaissance countered persisting fundamentalism and racism.

The Great Depression: Causes and Effects
The Great Depression was caused by false prosperity, speculation, the stock market crash, banking crisis, unemployment, and trade collapse. The stock market crashed in October 1929, leading to widespread bank failures. Unemployment rose to 25-35% as factories closed. Farm income declined 60% and 1/3 of farmers lost their land. People were unable to withdraw savings from failed banks and unemployment benefits were not enough to live on, forcing many to sell possessions and live in makeshift shelters or "Hoovervilles". The Depression had devastating social effects like long unemployment lines and families living in cars or tents. President Hoover believed in private solutions while FDR emphasized helping those with little.
Stock Market Crash Of 1929
The stock market crash of 1929 marked the beginning of the Great Depression. Fueled by postwar economic growth and optimism, stock values increased dramatically during the 1920s as more Americans invested in the market. However, stock prices had become inflated and unsustainable. The market crashed on October 24, 1929, known as "Black Thursday", with stocks losing over 20% of their value. The full-scale panic set in on October 29th, "Black Tuesday", with over 16 million shares sold in a single day and stocks losing another 12% as the country plunged into the Great Depression. Unemployment rose sharply and economic output declined drastically over the next few years.
Stages of the Holocaust
The document outlines the history of anti-Semitism in Europe leading up to and during the Holocaust. It discusses how Jews were historically discriminated against and scapegoated. In early 20th century Germany, Hitler blamed Jews for Germany's loss in WWI and pushed the ideology of Aryan racial supremacy. This led to the boycott of Jewish businesses in 1933 and the Nuremberg Laws stripping Jews of rights in 1935. Kristallnacht organized violence against Jews in 1938. During 1939-1945, Jews were isolated in ghettos and millions were deported to camps, where many were killed in gas chambers or by forced labor, until the camps were liberated by Allied forces by 1945.
1920s
The 1920s in America was a time of cultural escapism and economic boom, but also growing fear of internal threats. As the economy flourished on the surface, flaws emerged in the stock market. Following World War I, Americans withdrew and sought distractions, but also became wary of radicals like anarchists and communists amid labor unrest and Russia's communist revolution. This fueled a Red Scare where civil liberties were infringed through arrests and deportations, as isolationism and nativism rose.
1990s
The document summarizes major events and trends in the post-Cold War world from the late 1980s to 2000. Key events included the fall of communist governments in Eastern Europe, German reunification, and the dissolution of the Soviet Union. This ushered in an era dominated by global capitalism and free trade. However, the nature and stability of the new world order remained unclear. Domestically, the US grappled with economic challenges and cultural divisions over issues like immigration, race, and family values.

Stock Market Crash
The document discusses several factors that contributed to the Great Depression in the United States, including revenue acts in the 1920s that lowered taxes, the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930 that significantly raised tariffs and harmed international trade, and the failure of many banks in the 1920s that caused people to lose their life savings. It also notes that the Federal Reserve's actions worsened the Depression by devaluing the US dollar and reducing the money supply. While there were various social and government causes, the document focuses on the tax laws, trade policies, and financial crises of the late 1920s and early 1930s that collectively plunged the US economy into the Great Depression.
The Great Depression
The Great Depression was caused by major stock market crashes, bank failures, and reduced purchasing that significantly damaged the US economy. FDR implemented his New Deal programs in the 1930s, including establishing the FDIC to insure bank deposits, cutting government spending, creating jobs through agencies focused on rural development, and generating tax revenue by ending Prohibition. These actions helped stabilize the financial system and start the US on the path to economic recovery from the Depression.
Propaganda power point
Propaganda was widely used before and during World War I to influence public opinion and support for the war effort. It was found in media like newspapers, magazines, posters and speeches. The aim was to appeal to patriotism and emotions, demonize the enemy, and promote enlistment, resource contribution, and engaging in the home front. Total war meant dedicating all resources to the war and high government control, including censorship. Different countries used propaganda against each other and to promote buying bonds. Propaganda took forms like posters of national leaders calling for enlistment or showing the enemy as a monster.
Great Economic Depression 1929
The document provides historical context and explanations for the Great Depression. It begins by describing the stock market crash of 1929 and defines depression. It then discusses the economic prosperity of the 1920s, known as the Roaring Twenties. The advent of the Great Depression is explained as having begun in the 1920s due to an uneven distribution of wealth and overproduction. The document lists the key causes of the Great Depression and analyzes the Classical and Keynesian economic models used to explain it, noting the flaws in assuming full employment.
The great depression
The Great Depression began with the 1929 stock market crash and its effects rippled out across the global economy. As businesses saw profits and incomes fall, they laid off thousands of workers, who could no longer buy goods. People rushed to withdraw savings from banks that could no longer pay deposits back, causing many banks to fail. Those at the bottom of the social ladder, including the newly unemployed who lost their homes and savings, suffered the most and were forced to live in makeshift shelters. The crash had worldwide effects as Americans could no longer buy foreign goods and other countries struggled to repay loans to the U.S.
American Expansion and Reform
1) In the late 19th century, the U.S. government commissioned the Union Pacific and Central Pacific Railroads to build the first transcontinental railroad across the country.
2) The railroad was completed in 1869, connecting workers and settlers to the West and transforming the nation through increased trade and new industries.
3) During this period of industrialization, known as the Gilded Age, large businesses consolidated power through monopolies and trusts, workers faced difficult conditions, and immigrants populated urban areas. Reform movements sought to address these issues through regulation and social change.
Imperialism
The Spanish-American War marked the emergence of the United States as a world power. Driven by expansionist and imperialist sentiments, the U.S. went to war with Spain in 1898 over Cuba. The U.S. quickly defeated Spain and gained control of Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines. This victory made the U.S. a colonial power and increased its political and economic influence globally. However, it also led to debates at home over imperialism and America's role in the world.
the great depression in America
The document discusses the Great Depression in the United States from the 1900s to 1940s. It defines a depression as a long and severe economic recession marked by declines in GDP and increases in unemployment. The Great Depression was caused by unequal wealth distribution, high tariffs, farm crises, the 1929 stock market crash, and bank failures which led to mass withdrawals and deflation. The effects included widespread unemployment as businesses closed and people lost their farms, with many Americans becoming homeless and living out of their cars.
Wallstreet Crash of 1929
The Wall Street Crash of 1929 began in late October 1929 and led to the Great Depression. Stock prices had been rising rapidly in the late 1920s as companies prospered in the post-WWI economic boom. However, overproduction led to falling profits, and investors began selling off their shares, causing prices to plummet. This triggered widespread panic selling and the crash, with stock prices falling over 20% in two days. The crash had devastating consequences as banks and companies failed, unemployment rose over 20 million, and the US economy severely contracted for years.

The Great Depression was a major monetary droop in the 1930's. Numerous Americans lost their positions, their investment funds, and their homes. In any case, the United States was not by any means the only influenced nation. The business droop influenced the whole world. Many quality Black Tuesday, when the New York Stock Exchange slammed in 1929, as the significant reason, yet one can not disregard the way that there was not only one single factor causing this financial defeat. Most antiquarians and financial analysts concur that the securities exchange crash was only one of numerous supporters of the droop. As a general rule, it was all the more a sign that things had just turned out badly. To comprehend the Depression's causes, one must go further back. The Great Depression came about because of a blend of efficient and political causes that had been developing since months preceding the accident.
After World War I finished, American ranchers made some troublesome memories making benefits. The homestead despondency of the 1920's was a contributing financial factor to the Great Depression. Ranchers were delivering a surplus and well over what American customers were obtaining. Costs of rural items fell around 40% by 1921 and stayed low for the remainder of the decade.

reparations. This made numerous different economies become dependent on the U.S. economy. As the United States encountered this monetary downturn, numerous different countries were influenced as America demanded reimbursement. European nations couldn't bear to reimburse their obligations. Pressures were additionally exacerbated when the Hawley-Smoot Tariff Act was passed in 1930. In view of the goals of protectionism, this demonstration raised import obligations to secure American ranchers and specialists, bringing about world exchange decrease by 66% from 1929 to 1934 and worldwide financial strain.
The 1920's were a period of incredible financial and innovative development in America. World War I had quite recently finished, and Americans were prepared to take a break from the nervousness of world legislative issues. During this time, known as the Roaring Twenties, Americans were centered around bringing in cash and having a fabulous time.
