Within Europe powerful dictators rose in Germany, Italy, and Spain, and within Asia, a powerful dictator rose to power in Japan.

Mostly by horse and buggy or on horse back. Trains were also used extensively. There were some cars on the road at that time but they where still not in widespread use by the general population. People also traveled by ship.

April 14, 1935, was the worst day of the 1930s drought. It was Palm Sunday. The day began as a beautiful day with the sun shining; by noon the weather changed. Robert Geiger was traveling through Guymon, Oklahoma when a large black cloud from the north darkened the sky. Temperatures dropped 40 degrees Fahrenheit (22 degrees Celsius) within an hour. In the middle of the day people had to use flashlights to get from place to place. The earth being so dry and no crops or grass to hold dirt down stirred and became the worse dust storm in United States' history. Geiger in writing his article for the Associated Press about the storm coined the phrase "Dust Bowl." Within hours, the press repeated the coined phrase nationally and internationally.

Japan invaded Chinese territory

In 1935 Italy invaded Abyssinia (Ethiopia), a primitive country with a small and poorly equipped army, and no air force. The world was outraged but Italy was not stopped. As with the earlier Japanese invasion of Manchuria, the League of Nations proved itself impotent when it came to curtailing such aggression. In 1938 the Munich Conference doomed the small nation of Czechoslovakia to German occupation because Mussolini portrayed himself as a peacemaker but actually was in partnership with Hitler. In 1939 Italy and Germany signed the Pact of Steel which became the basis for the Axis alliance in World War 2; an alliance which Japan would later join.

Mexicans living in America were deported or pressured to leave the United States during the 1920s but even more during the Great Depression.

There was not just one word-- there was an entire list of words. In the 1930s, America was very conservative. It wasn't just songs that were censored-- ideas were censored too. Radio network owners worried about offending the Catholic church (which was very influential) or offending southern (white) affiliates. Thus, radio stations were not allowed to mention birth control or family planning. They were also not allowed to discuss segregation or lynching. As for song lyrics, any swear words, even the mildest ones like "damn" were banned. But so were common euphemisms that might have a sexual meaning. In 1931, for example, a Boston station (WBZ) went on a "purity campaign" where songs the program manager thought might be about sex were removed from the air. And it's not so much that US radio stations refused to play certain songs-- the record companies themselves knew that it would be a problem if they released controversial songs, so they tried to release songs that were mass-appeal and unlikely to alienate the majority of listeners.

After the war, the break-up of the major big bands in 1946 moved music from the "swing era" to the "sing era", focusing on vocal soloists. Vic Damone, Patti Page, Frank Sinatra, Perry Como and others of their ilk, often trained in big bands, saw their greatest successes.

1940'S MUSIC WAS MOSTLY INFLUENCED BY WWII. THERE WAS A LOT OF ROMANCE DUE TO MEN GOING OFF TO WAR. EVEN BANDS WERE ENLISTED TO GO OVERSEAS AND HELP ENTERTAIN MEN AT WAR. WOMEN TOOK OVER MEN'S JOBS AND SONGS WERE CLEAR AND LOUD ABOUT THE WORK THEY DID. AFTER THE WAR, THERE WERE THE COMING HOME SONGS AND THE SONGS ABOUT HOW WE OVERCAME THE WAR. HEE HAW Most of the factors that influenced the music in 1940 is the war, world war II and how it affected the women. All of the men went overseas and then the women were lonely. Most of the songs were about coming home, loved ones, the war, romance, or things along these lines. anything and everything. im sure that the war was hard-downed, but most people probably tried to forget such things. its not like today, where everyone complains about just about teverything possible. back then, most people wrote about love, being the romantic era.

I'd say Glenn Miller was also a huge influence on the way the music industry changed in the 1940's.

During this time it is commonly known that a group called the beats were given birth to, and can be seen almost as a first generation of hippies. Suprisingly black artists were at the frontier of new music and had a lot to do with the music scene. Sadly, racism predisposed many to not listen to many of them, if at all. It is said this is why people like Elvis came around from the era. The producers could not put a black artist out in the media, for fear of not being accepted, so they came up with people that could produce a similar sound. Elvis even entertained many songs that were not his own and came from such sources.

Since television was still experimental in the 1930s, there were few stores where they might be purchased. It would not be until the late 1930s when TVs were sold in any department stores. Because the medium of television was so new (in 1939, there was one channel in New York, for example, and it only operated on a limited schedule), the sets were expensive. The typical price could be as much as seven or eight hundred dollars. Few people bought them at that time. It was the late 1940s when television finally became popular in the USA and the price of the sets came down.

They convinced Congress to remove all tariffs on imported goods, they started using new advances in steam technology to power their plants, they began using new advertising techniques.

The 1930's were part o the depression. Many people sat around radios and listened to shows. Board games were popular - cards, checkers and chess.

Girls might play jacks and jump rope. Boys would play baseball and marbles.

Baseball games and movies might be attended by some. Walks were often taken in the evening It was real big to read newspapers and books. Children read Dick and Jane books.

timber trade, transportation Also it had to do with the government Edit********* The rebellion in Lower Canada happened because the merchants and people with money, who owned land were the only ones aloud to vote, while the farmers and lower class people with no land were not aloud.ys i agree but how did it involve transportation......

They had two common options. Live music was a lot more popular at the time. People would buy sheet music of the popular songs to play on the piano at home. They also had phonographs or gramophones, which were early forms of the record player.

I found somewhere where it said if it's still in original mint box that It could he worth 125$ it might help to do a little research. I would think those dolls would be expensive

NO. She did not marry Kerry Brothers. Alicia has been having an affair with Swizz Beatz, the hip hop producer, for about 2 years according to his wife, Mashonda. The story has not hit the mainstream but is popular on urban blog sites.

No. Not even close.

No country can compare to a legendary, powerful city such as Babylon.

Babylon has contributed so much to the growth of mankind, from science, mathematics, economics, diversity, law, language and architecture.

Babylon was the first to make human rights into law. Babylon's human right laws, later in history, inspired the United Kingdom to write and enforce the first modern human right laws. America didn't have any such laws until over 100 years after the UK (and Europe) implemented theirs.

Even the Ancient Egyptians, Ancient Greek, Ancient Romans and British Empire, some of the most powerful civilisations in history, admitted in literature that nobody will ever be able to replace or replicate the glory of Babylon.

The ruins of Babylon sit in Iraq.
