Prohibition of alcohol
Prohibition of alcohol occurs in the United States. Prohibition in the United States began January 16, 1919 with the ratification of the Eighteenth Amendment to the U.S Constitution and effected on January 16, 1920, and it continued throughout the 1920s. Prohibition was finally repealed in 1933. This picture shows that Beer barrels are destroyed by prohibition agents in an unknown location on Jan. 16, 1920 and was published by Associated Press. While Prohibition was successful in reducing the amount of liquor consumed, it tended to destroy society by other means. Prohibition became increasingly unpopular during the Great Depression, especially in large cities.

1929 Stock Market Crash
This picture was taken in October 1929 during the Stock Market Crash in New York which was the starting point of the Great Depression. The stock values dropped initially by over 40% and then continued declining for the following months. Companies were producing at great productivity but supply was substantially more than what people could afford to buy, which partially led to the stock market crash. This day marked chaos for everyone. As a result of the crash, several banks also closed. People lost their savings and were out of work.
