Question

1.The Great Depression was the result of wild stock speculation, economic disparity between rich and poor, and what else?

A.a banking crisis
B.high tariffs overseas
C.limits on farm production
D.government's failure to act

Answer 1

The correct answer is A) Banking crisis. The people could not pay back what they owed because of many wrong investments and stock speculations. When the bank crashed so did the people. Similar thing happened in 2008 during the long recession too but it was not on such a large scale as it was during the great depression.
