1. Which economic cause do you think had the biggest impact on the Great Depression? Explain why.

The economic cause that had the biggest impact on the Great Depression was the stock market crash of 1929. The crash led to a loss of confidence in the economy, which resulted in a decrease in consumer spending and investment. This, in turn, led to a decrease in production and an increase in unemployment, which further decreased consumer spending and investment. The stock market crash was the trigger that set off a chain reaction of economic decline, which led to the Great Depression.
