The Great Depression was caused by a combination of factors, including:1. **Stock Market Crash of 1929**: The dramatic decline in stock prices led to a loss of wealth and consumer confidence, which reduced spending and investment.2. **Bank Failures**: Many banks failed due to the inability to recover loans, leading to a reduction in available credit and further economic contraction.3. **Reduction in Consumer Spending**: As people lost their jobs and savings, consumer spending decreased significantly, leading to lower production and more layoffs.4. **High Tariffs and Trade Barriers**: Policies like the Smoot-Hawley Tariff imposed high taxes on imports, leading to a decrease in international trade and worsening the global economic situation.These factors, among others, contributed to the severity and duration of the Great Depression.
