One Fatal Mistake

After the events in the Roaring Twenties, on October 29, 1929, also known as Black Tuesday was a devastating day because many people felt they could make a fortune investing into the stock market. "By then, production had already declined and unemployment had risen, leaving stocks in great excess of their real value. Among the other causes of the eventual market collapse were low wages, the proliferation of debt, a struggling agricultural sector and an excess of large bank loans that could not be made up." After the unfortunate crash, the life of many people (including outside in the US) became much harder, causing what is known as the Great Depression.

Leading up to the 30s:

The Roaring Twenties

The Roaring Twenties was a time of economic prosperity in the US, Canada, and Europe. The US and Europe were just coming out of the war, and the economy was growing thanks to enhancements in technology and trade. For example, the automobile was fairly cheap at the time and was a very useful way of transportation. People could go to big dance halls in major cities or listen to the radio. Also, since the war ended, time could be spent more on consumer products. With more people having extra money to spend, businesses thrived.
