Immigration Quota Law
The first federal law in U.S. history to limit the immigration of Europeans, the Immigration Act of 1921 reflected the growing American fear that people from southern and eastern European countries not only did not adapt well into American society but also threatened its very existence. It is significant to me bc if it wasn't passed, than more than 3% would be immagrants in the United States and this law made it so that no more than that percent was in the US. -
Insulin First used to Treat Diabetes
Before insulin was discovered in 1921, people with diabetes didn’t live for long; there wasn’t much doctors could do for them. The most effective treatment was to put patients with diabetes on very strict diets with minimal carbohydrate intake. In 1922, a 14-year-old boy dying from diabetes in a Toronto hospital became the first person to receive an injection of insulin. This is significant because more than 8% of the world has diabetes. If we didn't find it, than those many people would die. -

Start of the Great Depression
The Great Depression was the deepest and longest-lasting economic downturn in the history of the Western industrialized world. About 13 to 15 million Americans were unemployed and nearly half of the country’s banks had failed. I find this significant because it affected such a large number of people in such an amount of time. -

Hitler Becomes Chancellor of the German Reich
In the election of late 1932 the Nazis won 37 per cent of the vote, and became the largest single party in the Reichstag. Hitler demanded the right to become Chancellor, but President Hindenburg said no. von Papen struck a deal to make Hitler Chancellor, with himself as Vice-Chancellor. this is signifigant because this gave Hitler and his cabinet unrestrained power to make law in Germany without needing reichstag approval and made Hitler a dictator whose word was law. -

Germany Annexes Austria
Hitler accompanied German troops into Austria, where enthusiastic crowds met them. Hitler appointed a new Nazi government. German troops march into Austria to annex the German-speaking nation for the Third Reich. This is signifigant because the German expansion into Austria helps to set the stage for future designs of Hitler and the Nazi party. -
