Question

1. what was the primary cause of the great depression in the united states?

• hyperinflation in germany
• the end of world war i
• the smoot - hawley tariff act
• the stock market crash in october 1929

Explanation:

Hyperinflation in Germany was a European economic crisis unrelated to the U.S. Great Depression's start. The end of World War I occurred over a decade before the Depression and was not its primary cause. The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act (1930) worsened the Depression but was a later, secondary factor. The October 1929 stock market crash triggered a chain reaction of bank failures, reduced consumer spending, and business collapses, acting as the immediate primary cause of the U.S. Great Depression.

Answer:

the stock market crash in October 1929
