[00:00:00]The greatest loss the US ever faced [music] wasn't caused by war.

[00:00:04]It was caused by capitalism.

[00:00:08]1920s America, the war is over.

[00:00:11]Factories roar. People [music] are dancing, spending, dreaming bigger than ever. The country calls it the roaring [music] 20s. Banks give loans to anyone.

[00:00:20]Stocks are booming. Millionaires are born overnight and everyone believes it will never end. Wall Street becomes a temple, capitalism a religion. And the US, the richest [music] country on Earth.

[00:00:33]But then, October 1929, the market doesn't slow down.

[00:00:41]It collapses.

[00:00:44]In a single day, fortunes vanish.

[00:00:48]Bank accounts evaporate. Over 9,000 banks shut down.

[00:00:52]Homes are lost. Entire families go hungry.

[00:00:56]And for the first time, the American dream becomes a nightmare.

[00:01:00]They called it the Great Depression, but for millions, it wasn't just a depression. It was betrayal of the system.
