October 29, 1929 (a tuesday, not a Friday) the stock market went into a selling frenzied. Over the next three weeks, many people who had bought stocks on credit found themselves bankrupt and the federal government being very big business at the time had no regulations to help the situation. Despite the New Deal efforts of Franklin Roosevelt, the Great Depression didn't end until the morning of December 7, 1941 when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. Over the next two days nearly all able bodied young male Americans joined the armed forces solving the unemployment problem, and with buying goods for the war, money started to move again.

The Great Depression was a worldwide economic downturn, starting in 1929 (although its effects were not fully felt until late in 1930) and lasting through most of the 1930s. It centered in North America and Europe, but had damaging effects around the world. The most industrialized countries were affected the worst, including the United States, Germany, Britain, France, Canada, and Australia. Cities around the world were hit hard, especially those based on heavy industry. Construction virtually halted in many countries. Farmers and rural areas suffered as prices for crops fell by 40-60% [1] Mining and logging areas were perhaps the hardest hit because demand fell sharply and there was little alternative economic activity. The Great Depression ended at different times in different countries; for subsequent history see Home front during World War II.

Are you really asking that question? Hey, if you're on the Internet you must know how to use Google, right? Why don't you try that or wkipedia.org? Or better yet, why don't you read your textbook?
