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.

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

C. not taking sides.

Explanation:

George Washington wished that the US did not create permanent alliances, as there may be chances that the ally would turn against the US, and to only maintain a alliance in times of need. This led the US to follow the policy of isolationism as she continued her expansion.

Of course, the United States was not able to keep Washington's wish, and his policy was relinquished completely during World War II, as the US understood that, while they can pretend that they were not interested in world affairs, any foreign national affairs can have impacts against the US interests and security. As such, the promise to only use alliances fell apart, as allies soon played not only a militaristic role, but also economical and security roles.
