Samantha Greenblatt January 30th, 2014 US6 Causes of the Great Depression Stock Market Crash: Documents C, D, F The stock market crash was one of the causes of the Great Depression because at the time almost every citizen had invested in the stock market. When it crashed more than 40 billion dollars were lost. Many Americans believed they could get rich by investing in stocks so that is what they did.
