"Witness to History: Days That Shook the World (1930-1939)" explores pivotal events of the 1930s that transformed the global landscape. The Great Depression's economic impact led to the rise of key figures such as Franklin D. Roosevelt and Adolf Hitler. The video covers the engineering marvel of the Empire State Building, the historic solo flight of Amelia Earhart, and the repeal of Prohibition. Additionally, it delves into the disastrous Hindenburg crash and Jesse Owens' Olympic triumphs in Nazi Germany. These events are critical in understanding the socio-political dynamics of the time, making them relevant for curricula focused on U.S. and World History between 1934-1945.
