The Wall Street Crash of 1929, also known as the Great Crash and the Stock Market Crash of 1929, began in late October 1929 and was the most devastating stock market crash in the history of the United States, when taking into consideration the full extent and duration of its fallout. The crash signaled the beginning of the decade-long Great Depression that affected almost every industrialized country, and did not end in the United States until the onset of American mobilization for World War II at the end of 1941.

Many speculate on how these events could have been prevented, or at least curtailed to a lesser effect they had on the world than they did.

So, what if there was no Crash? No Depression? For whatever reason, things simply continue as they do - a recession every now and then, ups and downs, but a relative continuation of the economic stability we had in the 'Roaring Twenties'.

How would this effect the United States, as well as the world at large?
