Failure of the League in 1930s
There was self-interest in the league. The leading members were
Britain and France; the league depended on the whole mostly from these
two countries. But these two were not prepared to fight for the league
because if they fought for the league they were in risk of losing most
of their common interests. Like the crisis in Abyssinia where Britain
just let Mussolini pass the Suez Canal with no obstruction.
Economic sanctions didn't work because the main economic powers at the
time weren't part of the league. Examples are the Russia and the
U.S.A. the difference is that Russia at the end of the league it
became a member, but the U.S.A. never became a member congress vetoed
the decision to join the league. These were the biggest trade partners
of nearly all the countries that's why they were ineffective
Some of the treaties it had signed were seen harsh and unfair to many
nations. Most members were in the idea that the treaties need
amending. This further undermined the league.
Many countries like Russia, Germany and Japan were only member later
after the league had been founded or just had a very brief stay at the
league; unlike the worlds greatest power the U.S.A. was never a
member.
The league never had an army of its own. The league was condemned to
ask its members for an army and the only big armies at the time were
Britain and France that at the time were more interested in solving
their own domestic problems.
Decisions in the league were slow because of bureaucracy. Decision
took a lot o time because their had to be reports, complaints,
witnesses a lot of paper work for officials. An example of a slow
decision is the resolution of the Manchurian crisis, it took one year
to get a report from officials and after the report was made and told
to the world Japan continued to invade china. No one would dare even
try stooping them.
These are the main crisis in the 20s
The thirties were a time of the Great Depression. Everyone was poor. People who had had riches in abundance not one year earlier were living on the streets. It would take years for America to recover, and the road to get there was not very smooth.
In the Midwest, farmers were losing their land to mortgage foreclosures. American tourist deaths were attributed to a terrorist attack. A president known for his effective use of the media governed the United States. The U.S. cooperated in a change of government in the Philippines. Parents and churches criticized motion pictures for eroding American morals. And Appalachian State, after setting a new enrollment record, received favorable publicity in a national magazine. Sound familiar? Think again; you're 55 years off. The year was 1934 in the U.S.A.
By the time the Europeans arrived in America, the League was already hundreds of years old (McClard 75) and running just as smoothly as when Hiawatha and Deganawida created it so man...
“The United States emerged from a virulent, intense, and inhumane civil war and evolved into a new nation during this period. This transition was the culmination of political, economic, social, and cultural movements which transformed the nation. E Pluribus Unum - out of many United States, one nation; the United States was forged in the cauldron of these revolutions." -Arnold Toynbee, A Study of History
Sports were in rising popularity before and throughout the 1920’s. The economy was working astonishingly well, and the common American had substantially more disposable income that they did not have before. This gave numerous people the money to pay for the cost of entertainment services. Baseball was by far largest in popularity, with stars such as Babe Ruth. The 1919 World Series caused much commotion during this time, and slingshotted the popularity of Baseball and subsequently the popularity of other college and professional sports. New innovations such as the Radio and Television, made it easier to listen and keep track of sports and news across the country. This created a common culture with Americans and gave
"Over the decades, African American teams played 445-recorded games against white teams, winning sixty-one percent of them." (Conrads, pg.8) The Negro Leagues were an alternative baseball group for African American baseball player that were denied the right to play with the white baseball payers in the Major League Baseball Association. In 1920, the first African American League was formed, and that paved the way for numerous African American innovation and movements. Fences, and Jackie Robinson: The Biography, raises consciousness about the baseball players that have been overlooked, and the struggle they had to endure simply because of their color.
The 1920s was an important time in sports. Many people have called the 1920s the Age of the Spectator, or even the Golden Age of American Sports. The United States had a strong economy for most this decade, so workers had more leisure time. This also meant that new and bigger stadiums could be built. Many people were interested in sports and the radio made it easier for fans to keep up with their favorite teams. Newspapers increased their coverage of sports and printed dedicated sports sections. From George Herman “Babe” Ruth (baseball) to Bobby Jones (golf) sports had a huge impact on American life, helping the 1920s to become known as the Golden age of American

The following year marked the formation of the National League of Professional Baseball Players, which was soon shortened to the National League (Ibid). In 1884, the rival American League was founded and the era of modern professional baseball began.... ... middle of paper ... ...
The Strike of 1934 On May 9th 1934 a organized labor strike started in San Francisco that would snowball into a city crippling strike. The International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) declared a strike for all longshoremen on the west coast, until they received better wages, a union-administered hiring hall, and union membership as a prerequisite for employed longshoremen. The Strike of 1934 lasted for three months, stopping maritime trade in the ports of the Western United States, from San Diego to Seattle. The clash was between the Industrial Association (IA), composed of big business and employers wanting to break the strike, and the ILA, along with other unions that dealt with maritime trades.
On August 3, 1949 the National Basketball League (NBL) was dissolved into the Basketball Association of American (BAA), which was started in 1946 to create the National Basketball Association. Through the merger of the two leagues into the NBA there were now 18 teams that were eventually dwindled down to eight teams. The original eight are sti...
Players added many rules that changed the game, and each school interpreted them differently. In 1848, a group of school representatives met at Trinity College in Cambridge and drew up the first set of soccer rules (Brooks Clark, 1993). In 1863, representatives of English soccer clubs founded the English football clubs found the English Football Association.
Football changed dramatically in the 1920's. Players such as Red Grange, Jim Thorpe, and Notre Dame's Four Horsemen changed the game forever. With their unique style of play, they escalated football to new heights and more competetive levels. Each had their own style of play, which made other teams try harder to get better and beat the other teams. Other things, such as the forward pass, also changed the game of football in the 1920's. However, it was the players and their talent that forever changed American football.
weakness of the League was that it did not have an army of its own.
It was all started in 1899, after a man named Joan Gamper laid the foundation for FC Barcelona. After building up a respectable squad, they started to compete in their first competitions. After many years of competing in tournaments, they decided to create La Liga with 9 other teams.
