Increased individual debt among Americans contribute to the Great Depression since consumers with high levels of debt could not pay their bills if they were unemployed for even a short time.

The Great Depression was the worst economic downturn in the history of the industrialized world, which protracted from 1929 to 1939.  It kicked off after the stock market crash of October 1929, which sent Wall Street into a panic and wiped out millions of investors.
