Stock Market Crash

The Stock Market Crash in 1929 started with the roaring 20's, a time of wealth and prosperity. However, in 1929, the stock market crashed, beginning what is known as the Great Depression lasting 12 years. It wasn't until the beginning of WWII in 1941 that things started to improve. The difference between the Great Depression and the one we just experienced was that we were currently in a war when the market crashed in 2008 which was the answer to the answer to the one of 1929.
