American protectionism.
Explanation: U.S. protectionist measures (notably the Smoot-Hawley Tariff) raised tariffs, reduced international trade, and helped transmit and deepen the U.S. slump worldwide. Lowered tariffs and higher agricultural prices would not have had that effect; a post‑WWI boom is the opposite of what intensified the Depression.
