Global crash 1929

Global crash: The New York stock market collapse of October 1929 triggered a worldwide depression; Sweden’s export-dependent industries — timber, iron, and engineering — quickly felt the contraction in demand.

In the chronology of the Swedish model, this anchors 1929 under Carl Gustaf Ekman / Arvid Lindman as a year shaped by institutions, public conflict, reform, or security policy rather than cabinet arithmetic alone.

Source confidence is B: the basic event is promoted, while broader interpretation still depends on the cited source tier and later primary-source upgrades.
