The stock market crash of 1929
One of the most significant economic events in the history of the 20th century was the crash of the New York Stock Exchange , which took place in 1929 . This event is considered the most serious in the US stock market to date, both because of the impact it had and the time during which its consequences were suffered.

Foreign countries sold American products through stock market speculation.
