Answer 1

It was before my time, but it was in the midst of the Depression, and people were out of work and standing in bread lines. If you think the economy is bad today, it was nothing compared to the 1930's. As for fashion, women dressed very sedately, a real departure from the '20's or the flapper era. From pictures I've seen in old magazines and our family albums, the women wore their hair in waves plastered close to their heads, and some had "spit curls" on their forehead. They wore long dresses and hats and gloves.

Interracial couples were rare. Few ventured into society as prejudice was rampant in those days. A black/white couple most likely was ostracized, and also their children. It was not a good or fun era for anyone. If you were lucky enough to have a job in those days, you were considered wealthy if you made $15 a week. Of course a loaf of bread only cost a dime. You could buy a lot of things for a nickel back then. What can you buy for five cents nowadays? Oh, I know -- what about five penny gum balls?

i think of it is a competent occasion. think of if France and Britain had pre-emptively struck Nazi Germany after say the occupation of the Rhineland. That unmarried act of aggression might in basic terms have fueled Nazi rhetoric and provided evidence of what Hitler exchange into asserting relating to the enforcers of the Versailles Treaty. international opinion might particularly in all probability have been professional-German and finally professional-Nazi. the comparable situation might desire to o.k. be happening interior the middle East. those individuals are crammed with unfavorable propaganda approximately Western intentions interior the area. Then we invade with out pretext and ensure each and every of the failings they already believed approximately us. there is genuine possibility in the two direction of action, yet pre-emptive armed forces strikes are specific to pour gas on the fires of hatred brewing interior the hearts of individuals who in any different case would possibly no longer have hated us.
