Stock Market Crash & Great Depression

When a stock market crashes, it basically causes stock prises to decrease a large amount. Between the years of 1926 and 1929, one of the biggest stock market crash happened. In result to the stock market crashing, new technologies were being invented. The radio, automobiles, and air flight are just a few of the new technologies. The stock market prices had been rising for about five years very consistintly. In 1929, the stock market crashed. A cause of the stock market crashing were banks running out of money and closing. When this happened, the people that didn't get to the bank quick enough before the bank ran out of money, their life saving would just be gone. This situation created the Federal Reserve Bank. The FRB was a place for banks to go once they ran out of money. People started buying on credit and margin.
