First off, what happened was American, trading and such, was at a all time high. They were one of the worlds top traders. But then things started to go down hill way too fast. In 1929 the bubble popped finally after years and months of the stocks going down hill the stocks finally crashed. The cause of this was the banks. They were running out of money basically. The government was paying the banks to get out of the debt. Now banks have "all" of your money right? in a way wrong. what they do is that they keep your money but they charge you too keep the money there, that's how the banks make money. Have you ever heard of loans? Well what the bank does is that they take the money that you put in and they "loan" it out to other people. So what I'm telling you is.... it is not your money! The bank gives it to other people as loans to pay off other loans and so fourth.
