During the 1930s multiple events happened that will stay in our nation’s history forever. One of the biggest events was The Great Depression. This affected many families. Most people lost their jobs and since that happened, people turned to musical professions. The most popular was jazz music. While people enjoyed music, they also were very interested in politics. President Hoover lost to Roosevelt in the election of 1932. FDR then came up with The New Deal. This seemed to be very successful. The 1930s was very eventful and a very important decade because the US was gradually recovering from the Depression. When we look back on it, we were very successful.

__** Hitler Becomes Chancellor of Germany **__ The Great Depression was a somewhat good thing for Hitler. It had the world at a loss but he could speak against it and was blaming everyone else for Germany’s problems. He convinced a lot of German’s that they had nothing to do with their crash of their economy but it was people like Jews, intellectuals, and Communists had everything to do with it. Many German’s favored Hitler and thought he would be a good leader. He knew how to change everyone’s mind and to twist his own words so that he was always right. He rose to power in 1933 and was basically a dictator. He created his own “army”, The Nazi’s.

**__ Amelia Earheart's Flight __** Amelia Mary Earheart is known as the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. As a child, Amelia spent many hours exploring with her sister. She always had a sensation for exhilaration, but at the age of ten while seeing her first aircraft, Amelia described it as “a thing of rusty wire and wood and not at all interesting.” Although she was not a fan of flying early on in her life, she soon changed her opinion. Amelia set many records, and wrote best-selling books about her flying experiences. She was also an early supporter of equal rights.
