Financial experts warned the public the the American Economy is slowing down. With this warning in mind, investors started selling their shares in large numbers in September 1929. By 24th October 1929, 12.8 million shares were sold and another 16 million shares were sold at a very low price on 29th October 1929. The panic selling of shares lead to the collapse of the stock market in New York.

The aftermath of the wall street crash was very disastrous. Investors lost their money and was not able to pay off their debts. Many banks closed, leaving their depositors with no money nor hope for the future. Ordinary people lost their means to buy foods and other basic needs like shelter and clothes. Companies have to downsize resulting to firing of redundant workers and lowering the wages of the remaining workers. Unemployment rose to very high level.

The Wall Street Crash led to the beginning of the Great Depression in the 1930s.

What was a benefit of the Silk Road for countries the route crossed
Mkey [24]

The Silk Road was a network of trade routes that was extremely popular during Antiquity, all the way to the 18th century. This network connected faraway regions such as East and South Asia, Persia, the Arabian Peninsula and Southern Europe.

One of the benefits of the Silk Road for the countries the route crossed is that it allowed people in these regions to trade goods, providing a source of money as well as access to goods that were not normally available in their region. Another benefit was the fact that the road allowed for cultural exchange among these regions.
