The Great Depression

History Daily

Back in 1920s, the United States went through what the world would come to know as the Great Depression. Wall Street would go belly-up in 1929, leaving millions of people completely bankrupt practically overnight. The crash cost investors at least $30 billion dollars, which today is equivalent to almost $400 billion today. This photograph is the perfect example of a man that had it all one minute, and lost it all the next. It would take around a decade for America to get off its feet once more, but a lifetime for anyone to forget.
