Reasons for the worst economic downturn in American history include over-lending by weakly regulated banks, excessive stock price valuation, too many stocks purchased on margin, unrestrained exuberance that sends millions of people to convert their savings into stocks, tightening of the credit by the Federal Reserve, and an agricultural drought.]]> 2022-04-19 11:51:37 UTC https://padlet.com/Josejunior07/30m7gj57766atjyv/wish/2148447081 Josejunior07 https://padlet.com/Josejunior07/30m7gj57766atjyv/wish/2148449724 Under the cover of predawn darkness, a German battleship floats quietly into the center of Danzig Harbor and opens fire on a Polish stronghold in Westerplatte, the first shots of World War II. In the following weeks, Nazi forces, including 2,000 tanks and 1,000 aircraft, would shatter Polish defenses and surround Warsaw, which surrenders 26 days after the Danzig Harbor attack.]]> 2022-04-19 11:53:23 UTC https://padlet.com/Josejunior07/30m7gj57766atjyv/wish/2148449724 Josejunior07 https://padlet.com/Josejunior07/30m7gj57766atjyv/wish/2148450341 The surrender of Japan marks the end of World War II amid one of the most tumultuous years of the 20th century. Earlier in the year, leaders of three nations – Benito Mussolini, Franklin Roosevelt, and Adolf Hitler – die and Nazi Germany surrenders. Though the surrender of Japan was inevitable, the prospect of a horrific Allied assault on the Japanese mainland convinces the United States to drop atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The atomic bomb attacks, along with the entry of the Soviet Union in the war against Japan, compel the Japanese to surrender.]]> 2022-04-19 11:54:00 UTC https://padlet.com/Josejunior07/30m7gj57766atjyv/wish/2148450341 Josejunior07 https://padlet.com/Josejunior07/30m7gj57766atjyv/wish/2148451776 President Kennedy’s goal of a manned lunar landing before 1970 is realized six years after his assassination. Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins blast off from the Kennedy Space Center at 9:32 a.m. aboard the Saturn V rocket. After three days of travel, Armstrong and Aldrin land the Eagle module on the lunar surface as Collins remains in lunar orbit to pilot the module. Upon their return to Earth, the three astronauts are put in 21-day quarantine to ensure they do not bring back any lunar contagions.]]> 2022-04-19 11:55:05 UTC https://padlet.com/Josejunior07/30m7gj57766atjyv/wish/2148451776 Josejunior07 https://padlet.com/Josejunior07/30m7gj57766atjyv/wish/2148452369 The internet as we know it today – a seemingly endless collection of websites hosted on servers scattered across the globe – is still more than a decade away. But at the beginning of 1983, the the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET) – a small network for academics and researchers – transitions to the standard TCP/IP protocol of the World Wide Web. The protocol would become the internet's cornerstone and technical foundation as it allows expanded available address space and decentralizes the network, thus also expanding accessibility.]]> 2022-04-19 11:55:33 UTC https://padlet.com/Josejunior07/30m7gj57766atjyv/wish/2148452369 Josejunior07 https://padlet.com/Josejunior07/30m7gj57766atjyv/wish/2148452853 Cracks in the monolithic Soviet bloc are starting to appear in the 1980s, and the very symbol of communist repression comes crashing down in November, when the Berlin Wall is breached, ending a 28-year division of the city. During the day on Nov. 9, a spokesman for East Berlin's Communist Party says starting at midnight that day, citizens of East Germany are free to cross the country's borders. Almost immediately Berliners start slamming the wall with axes and sledgehammers. By nightfall, the celebration turns into what one observer calls "the greatest street party in the history of the world" and the city is reunited. East and West Germany would reunite one year later.]]> 2022-04-19 11:55:56 UTC https://padlet.com/Josejunior07/30m7gj57766atjyv/wish/2148452853 Josejunior07 https://padlet.com/Josejunior07/30m7gj57766atjyv/wish/2148454315 Camp David, Maryland
Just weeks after the dissolution of the Soviet Union on Dec. 26, 1991, U.S. President George H.W. Bush and his Russian counterpart, Boris Yeltsin, meet at Camp David to formally declare the end of the Cold War that began shortly after the end of World War II. The meeting comes days after both countries announce they would stop aiming nuclear missiles at each other.

The virus spread to Europe and the United States in early 2020 and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11. The outbreak reached virtually every nation on Earth, leading to countrywide lockdowns, massive layoffs, business closures, and school shutdowns. As of Aug. 26, the pandemic claimed more than 820,000 lives worldwide, including about 179,000 people in the U.S. COVID-19 has become the worst pandemic since the Spanish flu in 1918.
