The Tulip Crash in 1637

The crash began in February of 1637. Do we know what triggered it? This is a good question, what triggered the tulip crash, and people have argued about this. But you can trace through the contemporary handwritten documents the fact that over the course of subsequent days, people started to get worried about the tulip trade. So there was a very quick action among growers to try to deal with this financial issue. And that's where the main action came from because the government didn't want to get involved.
