History

Alenkinab [10]3 years ago

In the 1930s, big bands and swing music were popular, with Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, and Glenn Miller popular bandleaders. In the 1940s, the bands started to break up, and band singers like Frank Sinatra and Sarah Vaughan went out on their own. War songs became popular.

Tickets on average cost under a quarter for the whole of the 1930s, down from 35 cents in 1929, so spending time in the cinema was an affordable form of escapism for many.
The era's films were revolutionary, too: Those were the years in which the film industry fully transitioned from “silent films” to “talkies.” Hollywood began investing in new soundstages and movie concepts that could make the most of new sound technology, and this ushered in big-budget musicals with original songs like 42nd Street (1933) and The Wizard of Oz (1939). It was also the decade when Walt Disney released the first-ever full-length animated feature, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937).

Soap Box Derbys started in the 1930s as a competition for kids that didn’t require a lot of money. In 1933, a journalist named Myron Scott noticed some kids in Dayton, Ohio, were racing in soap box cars they’d made themselves. He took some pictures of them and started helping them organize bigger races. By the end of the summer that year, these races were drawing up to 40,000 spectators.

Today people can watch movies from the bedrooms, on flat screen TVs or even their phones. There are several video and entertainment watching platforms that we can download and watch at anytime on our phones or laptops.

Today we also have modernized music and movies, that we can watch/listen at anytime on our phones.

Describe the lives of working people during the Industrial Revolution. Who were the workers? What kinds of work did they do? Whe
Yanka [14]

Answer:

Edit where you want :)

Explanation:

The workers were the lower class who did miserable dirty work. There were children working in the same terrifying conditions. They could lose limbs and life for very little payment. This was borderline slavery because they couldn't not take the jobs because if they didn't they would starve and there were no better jobs. It was an endless loop of poverty that the owners profited off. They didn't treat them well because there was no consequences for treating them badly.

What was confirmed by the publication of the venona papers
galben [10]

Answer:

The Venona Project was an Initiative of the United States government together with the United Kingdom during World War II to intercept and learn about the communications between one of its main allies during that conflict, the former Soviet Union, with its diplomatic, political or military undercover agents; spy networks; or simply influential citizens in the United States.

The project concentrated and deciphered the cablegrams and messages that circulated between Moscow and North America during the war, and potentially "threatened" the national security of the northern country. The project did not get to know each other, or only some American presidents had partial knowledge of it. At first the contents of the messages could not be deciphered, this only happened due to an error of Soviet intelligence, so the content of the messages remained secret until the fall of the socialist camp, in the 1990s, fifty years more late to have been programmed.

The Venona documents comprised three main categories:

- Those that contain reports on the opinions transmitted by American spies.

- Reports of conversations between US and Russian officials.

- Those that provide only a general context or contain little useful information.

A notable case was that of atomic espionage, which led to the execution, in June 1953, of the spouses Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. The evidence that led to the accusation of both was not based on the Venona Project, which was not public and was only known to the secret services, but by statements by Ethel's brother. However, that way he could save himself, even if he pleaded equally guilty.
