Detailed explanation-1: -The stock market crash of October 1929 led directly to the Great Depression in Europe.
Detailed explanation-2: -What were the major causes of the Great Depression? Among the suggested causes of the Great Depression are: the stock market crash of 1929; the collapse of world trade due to the Smoot-Hawley Tariff; government policies; bank failures and panics; and the collapse of the money supply.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Great Depression was a worldwide phenome-non, and the collapse of international trade was even greater than the collapse of world output of goods and services. Still, like the stock market crash, protectionist trade policies alone did not cause the Great Depression. Money makes the economy function.
