I find the 30's really facinating. Everyone has posted really joyous images of a decade that has to go down as the most destructive decade ever.
A list of things that happened in the 30s:
Rise of authoritarian, nationalist, and fascist regimes in Austria, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Portugal, and Spain.
The Great Depression seriously affects the economic, political, and social aspects of society across the world.
Major conflict occurs across the world such as the Chaco War, the Second Italo-Abyssinian War, the Spanish Civil War, the Chinese Civil War, the Second Sino-Japanese War, and the outbreak of World War II in 1939.
Collapse of the League of Nations as countries like Germany, Italy, and Japan abdicate the League.
Nuclear fission discovered by Otto Hahn, Lise Meitner and Fritz Strassman in 1939.
Multiple countries in the Americas including Canada, Cuba, and the United States controversially deny asylum to hundreds of Jewish German refugees on the SS St. Louis who are fleeing Germany in 1939 which under the Nazi regime was pursuing a racist agenda of anti-Semitic persecution. In the end, no country accepted the refugees and the ship returns to Germany with most of its passengers onboard, while some commit suicide based on the prospect of returning to Nazi-run Germany.
Colonial India's Muslim League leader Muhammed Ali Jinnah delivers his "Day of Deliverance" speech on December 2, 1939, calling upon Muslims to begin to engage in civil disobedience against the British colonial government starting on December 12. Jinnah demands redress and resolution to tensions and violence occurring between Muslims and Hindus in India. Jinnah's actions are not supported by the largely Hindu-dominated Indian National Congress whom he had previously closely allied with. The decision is seen as part of an agenda by Jinnah to support the eventual creation of an independent Muslim state called Pakistan from colonial India.
Éamon de Valera introduces a new constitution for the Irish Free State in 1937, effectively ending its status as a British Dominion.
The "Great Purge" of "Old Bolsheviks" from the Communist Party of the Soviet Union takes place from 1937 to 1938, as ordered by Soviet Union leader Josef Stalin, resulting in hundreds of thousands of people being killed.
Southern Great Plains devastated by decades-long Dust Bowl
I'm sure no one has read this far but pretty much all the worlds issues that we deal with today, have their foundations in the 30's...
