CAUSES OF THE GREAT DEPRESSION

Cause # 1 = Over-Speculation

Cause # 2 = Increasing Consumerism

Cause # 3 = Failures of the Federal Reserve

Cause #4 = High Protective Tariffs

Page 10: The 1920s The 1920s became known as the “Jazz Age” or “Roaring 20’s” Louis Armstrong

Cause # 1 = Over-Speculation

• “Speculation” - engaging in a risky business venture on the chance that a quick or sizable profit can be made

• Many people during the 1920s began to heavily speculate in the stock market

Page 11: The 1920s The 1920s became known as the “Jazz Age” or “Roaring 20’s” Louis Armstrong

Cause # 1 = Over-Speculation

• Many investors commonly bought stock ‘on margin’. They only paid for part of the stock and borrowed the rest

Page 12: The 1920s The 1920s became known as the “Jazz Age” or “Roaring 20’s” Louis Armstrong

Cause # 1 = Over-Speculation

• People who brought stocks on margin did so because they knew the price of the stock would go up

Page 13: The 1920s The 1920s became known as the “Jazz Age” or “Roaring 20’s” Louis Armstrong

Cause # 1 = Over-Speculation

• Over speculation became very popular and stock brokers and banks were lending out huge sums of money and this made the stock market and the economy very unstable

Page 14: The 1920s The 1920s became known as the “Jazz Age” or “Roaring 20’s” Louis Armstrong

Cause # 1 = Over-Speculation

• In 1929 the stock market crashed. The prices of stocks plummeted and barrowed money could not be paid back and many banks failed

Page 15: The 1920s The 1920s became known as the “Jazz Age” or “Roaring 20’s” Louis Armstrong

Cause # 1 = Over-Speculation

• Many American banks also paid unsafe loans to Europeans so they could pay off their debts from WWI

Page 16: The 1920s The 1920s became known as the “Jazz Age” or “Roaring 20’s” Louis Armstrong

Cause # 2 = Increasing Consumerism

• The Industrial Revolution caused the invention and mass production of many new products.

Page 17: The 1920s The 1920s became known as the “Jazz Age” or “Roaring 20’s” Louis Armstrong

Cause # 2 = Increasing Consumerism

• Following the gloomy period of WWI, people were more willing to spend money to enjoy life.

Page 18: The 1920s The 1920s became known as the “Jazz Age” or “Roaring 20’s” Louis Armstrong

Cause # 2 = Increasing Consumerism

• New advertising methods attracted consumers to buy products they might not want or need.

Page 19: The 1920s The 1920s became known as the “Jazz Age” or “Roaring 20’s” Louis Armstrong
Page 20: The 1920s The 1920s became known as the “Jazz Age” or “Roaring 20’s” Louis Armstrong

• Salesmen were willing to sell products on installment plans (pay some now, pay the rest later), which caused many consumers to over-spend.

Cause # 2 = Increasing Consumerism

Page 21: The 1920s The 1920s became known as the “Jazz Age” or “Roaring 20’s” Louis Armstrong

Cause # 3 = Failures of the Federal Reserve

• The Federal Reserve (The FED.) was established as a federal agency to control and regulate the nation’s banking system and the economy

• The Federal Reserve failed to prevent banks and stock brokers from lending out too much money during the 1920s

Page 22: The 1920s The 1920s became known as the “Jazz Age” or “Roaring 20’s” Louis Armstrong

Cause # 3 = Failures of the Federal Reserve

• This led to the failure and foreclosure of one forth of the banks in the US.

Page 23: The 1920s The 1920s became known as the “Jazz Age” or “Roaring 20’s” Louis Armstrong

Cause # 3 = Failures of the Federal Reserve

This also led to a severe contraction in the nation’s supply of money in circulation

Page 24: The 1920s The 1920s became known as the “Jazz Age” or “Roaring 20’s” Louis Armstrong

Cause # 4 = High Protective Tariffs

TRADE

Page 25: The 1920s The 1920s became known as the “Jazz Age” or “Roaring 20’s” Louis Armstrong

Cause # 4 = High Protective Tariffs

• In response to the U.S. tariffs, the countries of Europe raised their own tariffs

Page 26: The 1920s The 1920s became known as the “Jazz Age” or “Roaring 20’s” Louis Armstrong

Cause # 4 = High Protective Tariffs

• Tariffs interfered with world trade because they destroyed foreign markets for American products

Page 27: The 1920s The 1920s became known as the “Jazz Age” or “Roaring 20’s” Louis Armstrong

• The Hawley Smoot Tariff was passed in 1930 and was one of the highest tariffs in U.S. history

• This tariff only made the Depression worse because countries could not help each other

Cause # 4 = High Protective Tariffs
