Life in the 1930's

The soccer world cup, hockey, boxing and the summer olympics of 1936 were all great entertainment for the people stuck in the depression
Transportation: transportation was different back then from what it is today. They usually used cars or street cars to get from one place to another in a city. For long distances they used trains because the cars back then would be to slow and unreliable. Planes were the first choice by people who could afford it because it was a faster way of transportation.
Economy: In the 1930's, countries were faced with an economic depression. The stock market crashed in 1929 and ended the wild times of the 1920's. People were out of jobs and had to move out of their homes and farms in search for a better life. People would find themselves in a relief camp or in line at a soup kitchen and living on the streets.
