Explination of Great Depression

the cause was due to the companies buying more then what they needed which case prices to drop and made selling them harder when no one needed them at that time. this in turn for everyone who owned some stocks lost lots of there money sometimes all there life savings.
the steps that where taken by Federal Reserve, Congress and the President were to create the New Deal program, Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), which built dams and hydroelectric projects to control flooding and provide electric power to the impoverished Tennessee Valley region of the South, and the Works Project Administration (WPA), a permanent jobs program that employed 8.5 million people from 1935 to 1943. After showing early signs of recovery beginning in the spring of 1933, the economy continued to improve throughout the next three years, during which real GDP (adjusted for inflation) grew at an average rate of 9 percent per year. A sharp recession hit in 1937, caused in part by the Federal Reserve's decision to increase its requirements for money in reserve. Though the economy began improving again in 1938, this second severe contraction reversed many of the gains in production and employment and prolonged the effects of the Great Depression through the end of the decade.
