1930s

The 1930's were a time of tragedy for Midwestern people who lived in the United States, especially farmers in the Great Plains region. During this time crops perished and winds picked up causing a massive dust storm to begin. In the course of this catastrophe “at least 350,000 Okies loaded their belongings into cars and trucks and headed to California” (Henretta, Hinderaker, Edwards, and Self 688). Californians were opposed to the arrival of these dust bowl refugees because they were competition

Cars were idolized in the 1930’s, everyone wanted them. When the cars first became popular they weren’t worried about the utility of the car. The style and design was more about elegance and luxury. Everyone wanted their cars to nice, the 1930’s were considered the Classic Era of cars (Cooke). There were so many companies that began making cars back then, many of them are still making cars to this day. Though some companies never made it out of the 1930’s the cars are still around. The cars back

of a drought period that coincided with bare and cultivated grounds leading to massive soil erosion that depleted the affected regions top soil. The larger dust storms had become prevalent in the areas of Oklahoma, and the Canadian prairies in the 1930’s up to early 1940’s (Worste 67). This excerpt looks at both the causes and the impacts of these severe storms that left a permanent mark in both the economic and social setup of America as well. The main cause of the dust bowl was the change in the

During the time period 1930s, Isolationist atmosphere could be seen all over America due to fear and past experience of war; the public and congress are no longer willing to get involved in war. However in this essay I would be discussing how the President of US, President Roosevelt had shifted his stance throughout his presidency through explaining How he could be considered as a Isolationist, How he could be considered as a Pragmatist, and How he could be considered as a Gradualist? in order to

The development of 1920s and 1930s media and technology was extremely influential upon the period of time immediately after. Media in the 1920-30s and its relevance to the years that followed, focusing on the western world. Through the journalism and writing movements during the era, new technology was exposed to the public and impacted events in the years that followed. The term technology can also apply to machinery, medicine and weaponry; however, none of them corresponded with the changes to

always looked sharp, but their pieces were made of cheaper fabrics to save money. There were many styles for different families, working women, and men with specific needs during the Great Depression in the 1930’s. To start off, fashion and style changed drastically from the 1920’s to the 1930’s. It is common to think style during the Great Depression would be shabby or trashy, but elegant style was huge during the time period (Sessions). The length of skirts and dresses were way more daring in the

The dust bowl was a long period of time of severe dust storms that created major damage in the ecology and agriculture. During the 1930’s there was a severe drought and failure to apply dryland farming methods to prevent wind erosion. During the drought of the 1930’s all the dry soil turned into dust which the strong winds blew away in huge clouds that sometimes made the sky turn black. The “black blizzard” or “black rollers” traveled across the country reaching as far as the east coast and hitting

Two words. Damage and death. Everything’s been destroyed, the people have almost nothing left. The 1930’s dust bowl was a long period of non stop dust storms and droughts that caused so much damage, and so much deaths. After reading and watching about world difficulties of escaping North Korea, fighting poverty with education and the dust bowl, the dust bowl is the worst problem to overcome. There are several reasons to support my opinion but, the main reasons are there was nowhere to run, the air

Depression on International Relations in the 1930s In the early 1920s the Great Depression hit. The chaos caused by the First World War was the main reason for the Great Depression. The USA had lent large amounts of money to other countries to help with their damages from the war. The loans that the USA made helped the countries to recover trade. Many countries tried to protect their industries by putting taxes on imports. In 1930 USA the biggest trading nation in the

Prior to the 1930s, government involvement in agricultural affairs was practically nonexistent. Some measures aimed at protecting farmers were proposed in earlier years, but were largely blocked by Congress, various presidents and the Supreme Court. For about 140 years after the birth of the U.S., there was no precedent for a government role in American agriculture. This standard was broken during the course of the presidencies of Herbert Hoover and Franklin D. Roosevelt. During these administrations
