Which of these was NOT a cause of the Great Depression? A) the Stock Market Crash of October, 1929 B) an increase in federal taxes and social programs C) excessive stock speculation and "buying on margin" D) the growing gap between the rich and the working class

Respuesta :

the answer to this is B


An increase in federal taxes and social programs is not a cause of the Great Depression.

  • The Great Depression was a period in the 1920s when there was unemployment everywhere because of the economic fall.
  • Men were willing to any work to earn money to feed themselves.
  • There was an increasing difference among people as rich people got richer.
  • During the depression people felt frustrated as they lost all the money because of the fall of the stock market.

Therefore we can conclude that the false statement amongst all other options is an increase in federal taxes and social programs.

Thus option B. is the correct answer.
