September 11, 2008 financial crisis

The September 11, 2008 financial crisis, also known as the Global Financial Crisis, was a severe worldwide economic crisis that occurred in the late 2000s. It was triggered by the collapse of the Lehman Brothers investment bank in the United States, which led to a chain reaction of financial and economic turmoil. The crisis resulted in a widespread banking and credit crisis, stock market crash, and a significant decline in global economic activity. Governments and central banks around the world implemented various measures to stabilize the financial system and stimulate economic growth in the aftermath of the crisis.
