In the 1920s, Nebraska and the nation as a whole had a lot of banks. At the beginning of the 20s, Nebraska had 1.3 million people and there was one bank for every 1,000 people. Every small town had a bank or two struggling to take in deposits and loan out money to farmers and businesses.
As the economic depression deepened in the early 30s, and as farmers had less and less money to spend in town, banks began to fail at alarming rates. During the 20s, there was an average of 70 banks failing each year nationally. After the crash during the first 10 months of 1930, 744 banks failed – 10 times as many. In all, 9,000 banks failed during the decade of the 30s. It's estimated that 4,000 banks failed during the one year of 1933 alone.

Context/details:
The Depression became a global phenomenon because of trade connections and the United States pulling back from financial involvements elsewhere in the world. American banks stopped investing, and demanded repayment of loans.
Germany was the most dangerous example of what went wrong. After the Great War (World War I), Germany was required to pay heavy reparations payments to Britain and France. Meanwhile, Britain and France owed repayment of funds to the United States for borrowing they had done during the war. So the United States had been supporting Germany in the 1920s with loans. When the USA could no longer afford to extend loan monies to Germany after the stock market crash of 1929, that sent Germany's economy spiraling even deeper into the Depression than was felt in the United States.
The bad situation in Germany made it possible for a radical leader like Hitler, making all sorts of bold promises, to win over enough people to rise to power. Hitler promised a return to national greatness and fiercely rebuilt Germany as a military machine. The rise of Hitler and the Nazis brought about World War II in Europe.
