5. The 1930's

The decade the Nazis planned the take over of Europe, stripped the Jews of their citizenship, and laid the groundwork for the Holocaust.

8. So as fun as the Great Depression. Awesome. Thanks

[BainsBane]

9. As the rise of Hitler

How appropriate

[Retrograde]

11. That's what I'm afraid of

A Greater Depression, droughts and dust bowls, the triumph of fascism, ethnic "cleansing". I hope enough of our senators and representatives remember enough history to keep it from totally repeating itself - and I intend to remind mine regularly.

12. so did Americans elect steve banhim as president?

why does he get to push forward his plans for government spending? WTF

Life in the 1930s- Didn't sound "exciting" to me.

The stock market crash of 1929 greatly affected life in the 1930s. Before 1929, the economy was flourishing and families bought homes and cars in record numbers, often on credit. As a result of the stock market crash, many families lost their homes and one-quarter of the workforce lost their jobs. Most Americans were forced to adapt to changing economic conditions by making significant changes to their lifestyles.

Due to worsening economic conditions in the 1930s, many families were forced to leave their homes and search for any shelter they could afford. Some families even lived in "Hoovervilles." These shanty towns were named after President Hoover because he had underestimated the effects of the stock market crash of 1929. In these areas, makeshift homes were made out of abandoned cars and any scrap materials that could be found. Families also migrated to other areas of the country in search of work. A combination of drought, dust storms, low market prices for farm crops and a lack of soil conservation practices caused many farmers vacate their homes, leaving behind the Dust Bowl. The Dust Bowl included nearly all of the Midwest states. Many farmers migrated to California in search of work, but no matter where families went, jobs were scarce.

13. I'd give us 5 years max before World War III.

At this pace, this one may involve invasion of North America. It just depends on how much we alienate Mexico.

Definitely there will be conflict in the ME, probably Eastern Europe and Taiwan.

[Dan]

14. if so,

there will not be a WWIV

[lonestarnot]

15. Motherfucking prince of darkness nutfuckery again.

Either way, fuck him.
