Historical Influence

I’m quite familiar with the whole cause of World War I and how it ended which eventually led to the start of world war II. World War I started in Europe due to the assassination of the duke of Austria by the black hands of Serbia which led to a whole turmoil of alliance that brought the whole Europe into war. Ended in 1919, the Treaty of Versailles was signed after the war, leaving Germany to take all of the blame for the start of war and forced Germany to compensate for the losses in war. Eventually, this led to the Second World War with Nazi-Germany led by Adolf Hitler to fight against the Allies. On the other side of the world, Japan attack Pearl Harbor, leaving United States in no choice but to join this inevitable war. Besides war, serious of events also happen in the United States during these 30 or 40 years. For example, the first commercial radio broadcast in America was in 1920. In 1927, Charles A Lindberg completes the first transatlantic solo flight by airplane. In 1929, stock market crashed and led to the Great Depression. In 1933, President Roosevelt created the New Deal Program to counter the Great Depression by developing public infrastructure such as the Hover Dame.
