Banking Emergency of 1933
During February and early March, 1933, banks throughout the country were experiencing difficulties, and many were forced to either close or operate under restrictions. Two of the most notable actions taken in response to the situation were the national bank holiday, enacted on March 6, 1933, and the passage of the Emergency Banking Relief Act (also known as the Emergency Banking Act) on March 9, 1933. Banking Act of 1933 (also known as the Glass-Steagall Act) was passed later that year to establish the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and introduce various banking reforms.
