Answer: Hello, The stock market crash of 1929 (not the sole cause of the Great Depression, but it did act to accelerate the global economic collapse) was a symptom. By 1933, nearly half of America's banks had failed, and unemployment was approaching 15 million people, or 30 percent of the workforce.

Explanation: Hope this helps!
