Decade - 1930s

it would make them stronger i think.

There are a lot of variables to consider such as: * If you were a wealthy white Alabaman with good social connections and part of the landed gentry with a diversified conservative portfolio and not involved with margin accounts you would have survived the Stock Market Crash, purchased choice property from distressed landowners for pennies on the dollar and you would have prosperred and multiplied your already substantial position. * Wealthy whites that lacked the correct connections and were overextended in the margin market took what they could for their homes, farms and forever abandoned the south with what they could salvage. * White Industrial workers were at the mercy of their employers and suffered. * White subsistence farmers with a clear title suffered, survived and sometimes prospered. Black subsistence farmers rarely survived with their farms intact and none were known to have prospered, all suffered and most were driven back into a worse poverty then slavery, * Poor whites suffered but they were always proud that they were better off then the poor blacks whose suffering was even greater since they could not even join the Okie exodus.

It depends on the wind.

Japan had the problem of Tojo's dictatorship rising around this time. They were trying to take over much of China, like Canton, Peking, and Nanking, to name a few places. Some Chinese called them the "Monkey People." Many Japanese moved to China. Bombings were frequent, even in fortunate places like Shanghai. Tojo tried, but failed to take over Australia.

it was warm, had trees and grass and had people living in it

The similitary between Germany, Italy, Japan and Russia is that they were all totalitarian governments, or governments in which the people are restricted in their freedoms and the government has total control. The differences of course, were that Russia was Communist; Japan Imperialist; and Germany and Italy Fascist.

There was racial discrimination; white people thought that coloured people were a curse sent from god.

Mississippi was a harsh place for coloured people.

Slavery had finished but we still treated them poorly as if they were still slaves.

They were sometimes tortured for doing something wrong.

Some of the children said that it was unfair that they were coloured.

Families struggled to survive.

White people didn't like coloured people and they didn't want them.

The Japanese attacked China and many Pacific islands during the 1930's.

Al Capone was convicted and jailed in 1931. The Merchandise Mart was built in 1930. The World's Fair took place in 1933 and the lakefront was revitalized. Dillinger was shot by the Biograph Theater in 1934. Many blacks moved to Chicago looking for work. In 1939, Chicago Attorney Edwin O'Hare was assassinated by organized crime.

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.
