The Stock Market Crash of 1929 occurred during a period of unregulated wealth and excess. On  October 14, 1929, investors were selling stock in large amounts. In order to halt the slide in the Dow Jones, the market indicator for the purchase and sale of stocks, Richard Whitney, the Vice President of the Stock Exchange, initiated a plan to purchase large quantities of blue chip stocks, stocks in large and reputable companies. This action resulted in temporarily halting the slide in stocks. The value of the market had increased tenfold in the 1920's as a result of speculation and inflated value in the market. A margin call occurs when value of the account falls below the broker's required minimum. While Whitney invested in the market to halt complete collapse, Charles Merrill of Bank of America suggested that his clients eliminate their financial obligations entirely. He realized that the value of the market was inflated and that the rise in stocks had peaked. The crash itself witnessed a lost of more than $30 billion in value in two days. Both General Electric and General Motors lost more than fifty percent of the value of their stocks during the crash.

Describe the treaty of Versailles using at least 5 sentence
MrMuchimi

The treaty of Versailles was a bad idea. It benefited countries like Britain, France and America as they where the top powers to come out of the war. It blamed all of the damages caused to their countries squarely on the Germans simply because Germany was the best target. The German where forced to surrender all their foreign lands. They where forbidden from entering the Rhineland. They where forbidden from uniting with Austria. They where forced to pay reparations to the winning side after the war, leaving the German people and the Wiemar republic in poverty! If it wasn't for all these terms suppressing Germany, Hitler would never pushed the boundaries of the treaty, the Nazi's where unlikely to ever rise to such power as they where elected as a last hope when Germany lost faith in democracy and therefore Britain would not have had to declare war on Germany for taking over Poland and Slovakia, entering the Rhine and uniting with Austria. It is often said that WW1 was just a build up to world war two, as if it wasn't for the treaty of versailles none of this was ever going to or even had a possibility f happening.
