Context:
Herbert Hoover began his service as President of the United States in 1929. He was in office when the Great Depression began, and was blamed for the fact that the country struggled as it did. The problems that led to the Depression had been building up for years before Hoover took office, but as the leader of the country when the troubles hit, he was the one who took the bulk of the criticism. And Hoover really had no solutions to the problems. In the 1932 presidential election, he was defeated by Franklin D. Roosevelt. Roosevelt implemented "New Deal" policies to combat the Depression.
Answer:
On December 1, 1934 Sergei Kirov, head of the Leningrad branch of the Communist Party, was assassinated in his office. Initially, it was believed that Joseph Stalin ordered his killing. But why? Earlier in the year at elections for the Central Committee, Kirov supposedly received significantly fewer negative votes than Stalin did, thereby demoting Stalin from General Secretary to simply Secretary. Stalin regarded Kirov as a serious enemy, especially when he formed an anti-Stalin group. Stalin wasted no time allowing people to believe it was he who had Kirov murdered. He quickly took revenge upon other enemies, Lev Kamenev and Grigorii Zinoviev, by implicating them in Kirov’s death. They agreed to accept responsibility in return for a light sentence. In 1936, they were retried and both condemned to death. This intensely violent moment is an important point in Stalin’s Great Terror that he inflicted upon the Soviet Union in the late 1930s.

The Spanish and Mexican governments made many land grants in Alta California (now known as California and Baja California) from 1785 to 1846. Spanish land grants were made to retired soldiers as an incentive for them to remain on the border, and thus this way to retain them in this geographical area by means of a house.
Explanation:
Some call these concessions California Ranches, and they were the cause of dividing California into Upper and Lower California.
The Spanish and later in Mexico governments promoted the settlement of the coastal region of Alta California (now known as California) by giving prominent men large land grants called ranchos, usually two or more square leagues, or 35 square kilometers (14 square miles). The property titles of the donations (concessions), were, the property property rights free of permanent charges issued by the government to the land called ranches. The ranches encompassed virtually all of the most valuable land near the coast, around the San Francisco Bay, and inland along the Sacramento River and nearby lands in the Central Valley.
