The native population of the Spanish colonies (i.e., Native Americans in the area) died off due to wars between Spanish settlers and natives, poor working conditions in enslavement, and the tons of diseases brought over by the Spanish that Native Americans' bodies did not know how to fight all drastically wiped out native Spanish populations.

So let's check the sodomy laws in 1969: Sodomy was banned in every state until 1962, when Illinois adopted the recommendation of the Model penal code to change this law. The next state was Connecticut in 1972, so in 1969 all states except Illinois had anti-sodomy laws!!! (that's 49 states)
While consumerism during the 1920s boosted the economy, it also led to "higher debt," since many people took out loans in order to pay for things that they could not afford.

Explanation:
Japan was already on its way to becoming militant since the late 19th century when the Meiji Restoration brought with it a philosophy of being a strong nation with a strong military. Its victories in WW1 (it was an Ally) against Russia and its need for resources (Japan is a resource-poor country such as in terms of oil and rubber) also drove it as it continued to industrialize. Seeing how the West had explored imperialism, Japan also embarked on a number of actions to do the same in the 1920s.
<span>By the time the 1930s came around, Japan's military culture was incredibly powerful and influential. Unlike other military forces, like those in the United States, its civilian oversight was weak allowing its own military office to dictate orders on its own which it often did. This led to Japan's interference in China and, eventually, its takeover of Manchuria in the 30s. It would also set the stage for the start of their land war in China in 1937 in an attempt to take over the country and plunder its resources for the good of Japan.
