What is the story about?
The Wall Street crash of 1929, often referred to as the Great Crash, stands as a monumental event in U.S. financial history. Beginning in October 1929 with a sharp decline in prices on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), this major stock market crash rapidly eroded confidence in the American banking system. It is widely considered the trigger for the worldwide Great Depression, a period of severe economic hardship that persisted until the United States
entered World War II in December 1941. The crash was the most devastating in the country's history, marked by specific days like "Black Thursday" and "Black Tuesday" that saw unprecedented trading volumes and dramatic price drops.
