Hitler left the stadium before the medals were awarded. The 100 meter race was the first of Owens' four medals. It shocked Hitler: his Aryan supremacy myth was in tatters. The only thing worse that could have happened was a Jew winning that first race. He likely didn't want to shake Owens' hand.
Actually Owens was not scheduled to race in the 400 meter relay. It came about only because the American Olympic Committee didn't want to cause an international uproar by allowing 2 Jews to run in the 400. So they replaced both with Owens and Metcalf (who took home a slug of metals himself).
I'm not sure if it is still on Netflix, but a docudrama of the event was made called RACE.

When people industrialized items for war it made militarism stronger. Militarism is good for INDUSTRIALISTS who manufacture weapons.
The growth of industries and urban population was the major change, beginning in the late 1790's/ early 1800's using technological improvements and taking advantage of a large pool of immigrants which arises in the United States.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The need of labor in the industries for huge production attracted the attention of the rural people, it was an opportunity for the rural people to settle inside the cities and become urban. Around 1920, nearly the major parts of America was populated with urban communities.
Around the period 1870 and 1920, nearly 25 million immigrants entered the country. They came with an hope to take part in the industry labor and gain enough wages that wouldn't push them to poverty. Places like New York, Cleveland, St.Louis attracted a lot of immigrants as it was a place of opportunities and in fact the immigrants were eager to work.
It was not just an advantage for the rural and immigrants but as well as for the factories and industries, who utilized these people for better use and development of the cities.
Because it allowed the people to trust their leader if they all supported chritianity, because then they could all relate spiritually. Hope this helped :P
