The Stock Market Crash was a big cause of the Great Depression. It is far too simplistic to view the stock market crash as the single cause of the Great Depression. A healthy economy can recover from such a contraction. Long-term underlying causes sent the nation into a downward spiral of despair. ... There were fundamental structural weaknesses in the American economic system.

if you need more help I will be glad to help!:D
