I think one of the most important thing that happened in the 30s was when Amelia Earhart became the first female aviator to successfully fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. I believe this because it showed that women could do just as much as men.

The most important event that happened in the 1930s was when Germany attacked Poland. This was important because it started WWII.

In my opinion, the election of Franklin Roosevelt as president was the most significant event. I believe this because without Roosevelt, the New Deal never would have taken place. Therefore, many problems that came with the Great Depression, such as unemployment, would not have been fixed.

In my opinion, the most significant event of the 1930s was the creation of the WPA  by the Emergency Relief Appropriation Act. The WPA provided millions of Americans with jobs. Without this creation, America may have stayed in poverty and the unemployment rate may have never decreased to the level it is today.

I believe that despite all the vital events during the 1930's, the greatest turning point was when Germany attacked Poland. I think this because it dug America out of the Great Depression by employing women to fulfill their husband's and love one's occupations while they were away fighting in WWII.

The most important event was when Germany invaded Poland in 1939, which started WWII. The US would later join the war and this would help them break out of depression.

In my opinion the most important event in the 1930's was the start of WWll. The start of the war began with Germany attacking Poland. This war went against the alliances and caused a lot of damage making it a significant event.

The most significant event was the publishing of books by Penguin. There was an attempt to improve the literature for Americans during the mid- 1930's. There was a sign given that the government cared about literature and the education of the American citizens.

In my opinion, the most significant event from the 1930's was the election of FDR. He accomplished a lot while president and affected America greatly.

I think that Germany invading Poland was the most significant event of the 1930's. This ultimately led to WWII, which was the biggest war in history.

In 1932, Franklin D. Roosevelt is elected as the President of the United States. I believe that was the most significant event in the 1930s.  He helped so much for the years that were to come. Including during the great Depression and during WWII.

In my opinion, the most significant event of the 1930s was when Germany invaded Poland in 1939.  Due to alliances and other factors, this started a chain reaction, and was the starting event of WWII.  WWII went on to be the biggest and most significant war in history, pitting clashing ideologies against each other.  War was fought for freedom against fascism on a scale not seen by any other war in history.

The most significant event of the 1930s was the start of the Great Depression in 1932. The Great Depression devastated many people. Unemployment had gone up to 25% and most people were homeless or lived in extreme poverty. Many things that shaped how America is today result from the Great Depression, such as the New Deal Program.

In 1931, there was a very large drought that led to the Dust Bowl. The Dust Bowl made many farmers and families get up and move because they couldn't deal with the dust anymore. This is important because we were already in the middle of the great depression, and the last thing that people wanted to deal with was having to move or lose everything that they had and worked so hard for.

Star Spangled Banner

In 1931, the Star Spangled Banner had become our country's national anthem. I believe this was the most significant event because it has had a very long impact. Considering we still have this song representing the United States today, it obviously had a more than great impact on our country with large significant.

1930's Mens and Womens and Childrens Fashion Clothes
Clothing styles were less extravagant for the most part during the 30s. However, you could still tell between the "haves" and "have nots" of this time. Some of the more affluent type of dress was presented by models in issues of the women's magazine Good Housekeeping.
Since the 30s was the decade of recovering from the 1929 Great Depression and stock market crash, companies started researching and implementing cheaper means of clothing manufacturing. New materials that were cheaper to process had been created during this decade to replace more expensive materials.
