                                                                               BLACK THURSDAY

New York, Oct. 24, 1929. Due to heavy economic speculation, the stock market of the United States in Wall Street crashed abruptly. A record of nearly 3 million shares were traded. Banks and investment companies tried to avoid the panic buying great blocks of stock, but their attempts were in vain. The first day of real panic got known as “Black Thrusday”.

Unfortunately, the panic continued on “Black Monday” and on “Black Tuesday” (Oct. 29), when 16 million shares were traded and the stock market collapsed completely. The Great Crash precipitated the Great Depression, a 10-year economic slump affecting all the Western industrialized countries. A lot of bankruptcies occurred, causing a large unemployment rate, with severe and dramatic consequences.
