942 words
Causes of the Great Crash In 1929 there had been a
bull market for some time, and it seemed like it
would never stop. However, such prosperity would
not last forever. In October of that year, the
market came to an abrupt halt. It was not a simple
matter however. There was no single reason why the
market finally crashed as it did but rather there
were many factors that had lead to this
devastating event. The first reason that had
