1929 (MCMXXIX) was
a common year starting
on Tuesday of the Gregorian calendar,
the 1929th year of the Common Era (CE)
and Anno Domini (AD)
designations, the 929th year of the 2nd millennium, the 29th year of
the 20th century,
and the 10th and last year of the 1920s decade. This year marked the end of a period known
in American history as the Roaring Twenties after the Wall Street
Crash of 1929 ushered in a worldwide Great Depression. In the Americas, an
agreement was brokered to end the Cristero War, a Catholic counter-revolution
in Mexico. The Judicial
Committee of the Privy Council, a British high court, ruled that
Canadian women are persons in the Edwards
v. Canada (Attorney General) case. The 1st Academy Awards for
film were held in Los Angeles, while the Museum of Modern Art opened
in New York City. The Peruvian Air Force was
created. In Asia, the Republic of China and the
Soviet Union engaged in a minor
conflict after the Chinese seized full control of the Manchurian
Chinese Eastern Railway, which ended with a resumption of joint
administration. In the Soviet Union, General Secretary Joseph Stalin expelled Leon Trotsky and adopted a policy
of collectivization. The Grand Trunk
Express began service in India. Rioting between
Muslims and Jews in Jerusalem over access to the Western Wall took place in the Middle
East. The centenary
of Western Australia was celebrated. The Kellogg–Briand Pact,
a treaty renouncing war as an instrument of national policy, went into
effect. In Europe, the Holy See and the Kingdom of Italy signed the Lateran Treaty. The Idionymon law was passed in Greece to
outlaw political dissent. Spain hosted the Ibero-American
Exposition which featured pavilions from Latin American
countries. The German airship LZ 127 Graf
Zeppelin flew around the world in 21 days. Contents · 1Summary · 2Events · 3Births · 4Deaths · 7Sources Summary[edit] Middle East, Asia, and
Pacific Isles[edit] On August 1 of this year the 1929 Palestine riots broke
out between Palestinians and Jews over
control of the Western Wall. The
rioting, initiated in part when British police tore down a screen the Jews had
constructed in front of the Wall,[1]continued until the end of the month. In total, 133 Jews and
116 Palestinians were killed.[2][3] Two
of the more famous incidents occurring during these riots were the August
23–24 1929 Hebron massacre,
in which almost 70 Jews were killed by Palestinians and the remaining Jews
are forced to stay at Hebron. The Palestinians
had been told that Jews were killing Palestinians. Jews would not return to
Hebron until after the Six-Day War in 1967.[4] The
other major clash was the 1929 Safed massacre,
in which 18–20 Jews were killed by Palestinians in Safed in similar fashion.[5] Elsewhere
in the Middle East, Iraq took a big step
toward gaining independence from the British. The Iraqi government had, since
the end of World War I and the beginning of the British Mandate in the Middle
East, consistently resisted British hegemony. In September, Great Britain
announced it would support Iraq's inclusion in the League of Nations,
signaling the beginning of the end of their direct control of the region.[6] Early in 1929 the Afghan leader King Amanullah lost power through
revolution and civil war to Habibullāh
Kalakāni. Habibullāh's rule, however, only lasted nine
months. Nadir Shah replaced
him in October, starting a line of monarchs which would last 40 years.[7] In
India, a general strike in Bombay continued throughout the year despite
efforts by the British.[8] On December 29, the All
India Congress in Lahore declared Indian independence from Britain, something it
had threatened to do if Britain did not grant India dominion status.[9] China
and Russia engaged in a minor
conflict after China seized full control of the Manchurian
Chinese Eastern Railway. Russia counterattacked and took the
cities of Hailar and Manchouli after issuing an ultimatum
demanding joint control of the railway to be reinstated. The Chinese agreed
to the terms on November 26. The
Japanese would later see this defeat as a sign of Chinese weakness, leading
to their taking control of Manchuria.[10] The Far East began to experience economic problems late
in the year as the effects of the Great Depression began to spread. Southeast
Asia was especially hard hit as its exports (spice, rubber, and other
commodities) were more sensitive to economic problems.[11] In the Pacific, on December 28 – "Black Saturday"
in Samoa – New Zealand colonial police
killed 11 unarmed demonstrators, an event which led the Mau movement to demand independence for
Samoa.[12] Europe[edit] Western[edit] In 1929, the Fascist Party in Italy tightened its
control. National education policy took a major step towards being completely
taken over by the agenda of indoctrination.[13] In that year, the Fascist government took control of the
authorization of all textbooks, all secondary school teachers were required
to take an oath of loyalty to Fascism, and children began to be taught that
they owed the same loyalty to Fascism as they did to God.[13] On February 11, Mussolini signed the Lateran Treaty, making Vatican City a sovereign state.[14] On July 25, Pope Pius XIemerged from the Vatican and entered St. Peter's Square
in a huge procession witnessed by about 250,000 persons, thus ending nearly
60 years of papal
self-imprisonment within the Vatican.[15] Italy used the diplomatic prestige associated with this
successful agreement to adopt a more aggressive foreign policy.[16] Germany experienced a major turning point in this year
due to the economic crash. The country had experienced prosperity under the
government of the Weimar Republic until
foreign investors withdrew their German interests. This began the crumbling
of the Republican government in favor of Nazism.[17] In 1929, the number of unemployed reached three million.[18] On July 27, the Geneva
Convention, held in Switzerland, addressed the treatment of
prisoners of war in response to problems encountered during World War I.[19] On May 31, the British
general election returned a hung parliament yet again, with
the Liberals in position to determine who would have power. These elections
were known as the "Flapper" elections due to the fact that it was
the first British election in which women under 30 could vote.[20] A week after the vote, on June 7 the Conservatives conceded
power rather than ally with the Liberals. Ramsay MacDonald founded a new Labour government
the next day.[21] 1929 is regarded as a turning point by
French historians, who point out that it was last year in which prosperity
was felt before the effects of the Great Depression. The Third Republic had
been in power since before World War I. On July 24, French prime
minister Raymond Poincaré resigned
for medical reasons; he was succeeded by Aristide Briand. Briand adopted a foreign
policy of both peace and defensive fortification. The Kellogg–Briand Pact,
renouncing war as an instrument of foreign policy, went into effect in this
year (it was first signed in Paris in 1928 by
most leading world powers).[22] The French began work on the Maginot Line in this year, as a defense
against a possible German attack, and on September 5 Briand presented a plan
for the United States of Europe.[23] On October 22, Briand was replaced as Prime Minister
by André Tardieu.[24] Primo de Rivera's
dictatorship in Spain experienced growing dissatisfaction among students and
academics, as well as businessmen who blamed the government for recent
economic woes. Many called for a fascist regime, like that in Italy.[25] Eastern[edit] In May, Joseph Stalin consolidated his power in
the Soviet Union by
sending Leon Trotsky into
exile. The only country that would grant Trotsky asylum was Turkey, in return
for his help during Turkey's civil war. He and his family left the USSR
aboard ship on February 12.[26] Stalin turned on his former political ally, Nikolai Bukharin, who was the last real
threat to his power. By the end of the year Bukharin had been defeated.[clarification
needed] Once
Stalin was in power, he turned his former support for Lenin's New Economic Policy into
opposition.[27] In November, Stalin declared that it "The Year of
the Great Breakthrough" and stated that the country would focus on
industrial programs as well as on collectivizing the grain supply. He hoped
to surpass the West not only in agriculture, but in industry.[28] Millions of Soviet farmers were removed from their
private farms, their property was collected, and they were moved to
state-owned farms. Stalin emphasized in 1929 a campaign demonizing kulaks as a plague on society. Kulak
property was taken and they were deported by cattle train to areas of frozen
tundra.[29] The timber market in Finland began to
decline in 1929 due to the Great Depression, as well as the Soviet Union's
entrance into the market. Financial and political problems culminated in the
birth of the fascist Lapua Movement on November 23 in a demonstration in Lapua. The movement's stated aim was Finnish
democracy and anti-communism.[30] The Finnish legislature received heavy pressure to
remove basic rights from Communist groups.[31] Politics in Lithuania was heated, as President
Voldemaras was unpopular in some quarters, and survived an assassination
attempt in Kaunas.[32] Later, while attending a meeting of the League of Nations,
he was ousted in a coup by President Smetona, who made himself dictator. Upon
Voldemaras' removal from office, Geležinis Vilkas went
underground and received aid and encouragement in its activities from
Germany.[32] Yugoslavia was renamed the "Kingdom of
Yugoslavia" as King Alexander sought
to unite the Balkans under his rule.[33] The state's new Monarchy replaced the old parliament,
which had been dominated by Serbs.[34] North America[edit] Main article: 1929 in the
United States In October 1929, the British Judicial
Committee of the Privy Council overturned a ruling by
the Supreme Court of
Canada that women could not be members of the legislature.
This case, which came to be known as the Persons Case, had important ramifications
not just for the rights of women but because in overturning the case, the
Judicial Committee of the Privy Council engendered a radical change in the
Canadian judicial approach to the Canadian constitution, an approach that has
come to be known as the "living tree doctrine".
The five women who initiated the case are known in Canada as the Famous Five.[35] In November, the 1929 Grand
Banks earthquake occurred off the south coast of Newfoundland in
the Atlantic Ocean. It registered as a Richter magnitude 7.2 submarine earthquake centered
on Grand Banks, broke
12 submarine transatlantic
telegraph cables and triggered a tsunami that destroyed many south coast
communities in the Burin Peninsula area, killing 28 (as of
1997, Canada's most lethal earthquake).[36] The Mexican Cristero War continued in 1929 as
clerical forces attempted an assassination of the provisional president in a
train bombing in February. The attempt failed. Plutarco Calles, at the center of power for
the anti-clerics, continued to gather power in Mexico City. His government
was considered an enemy to more conservative Mexicans who held to traditional
forms of government and more religious control. Calles founded the National
Revolutionary Party early in the year to increase his power; a party which
was, ironically, seen by foreigners as fascist and which was in opposition to
the Mexican Right. A special election was held in this year, which Jose
Vasconselos lost to Ortiz Rubio. By this time, the war had ended.[37] The last group of rebels was defeated on June 4, and in
the same month US Ambassador Dwight Morrow initiated talks between
parties. On June 21 an
agreement was brokered ending the Cristero War. On June 27, church bells rang and mass was held
publicly for the first time in three years. The agreement heavily favored the
government, as priests were required to register with the government and
religion was banned from schools.[38] The major event of the year for the United
States was the stock market
crash on Wall Street, which was to have international effects. On
September 3, the Dow Jones
Industrial Average (DJIA) peaked at 381.17, a height it would
not reach again until November 1954. Then, from October 24–October 29, stock prices suffered three
multi-digit percentage drops, wiping out more than $30 billion from the New
York Stock Exchange (10 times greater than the annual budget of the federal
government).[39] On December 3 U.S. President Herbert Hoover announced to the U.S. Congress that
the worst effects of the recent stock market crash were behind the
nation, and that the American people had regained faith in the economy.[40] Literature, arts, and
entertainment[edit] Main article: 1929 in
the arts (disambiguation) Literature of the time reflected the
memories many harbored of the horrors of World War I. A major seller
was All Quiet
on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque.
Remarque was a German who had fought in the war at age eighteen and been
wounded in the Third Battle of
Ypres. He stated that he intended the book to tell the story
"of a generation of men who, even though they may have escaped its
shells, were destroyed by the war." Another 1929 book reflecting on
World War I was Ernest Hemingway's A Farewell to Arms,
as well as Good-Bye to All That by Robert Graves.[41] In lighter media, a few stars of the comic industry made
their debut, including Tintin,
a comic book character created by Hergé, who would appear in over 200 million
comic books in 60 languages. Popeye, another comic strip character created by Elzie Crisler Segar,
also appeared in this year. Within the film industry, on May 16 the 1st Academy Awards were
presented at the Hollywood
Roosevelt Hotel, with Wings winning Best
Picture. Also, Hallelujah!became
the first Hollywood film to contain an entirely black cast, and Atlantic, a film about the Titanic,
is an early sound-on-film movie. The arts were in the midst of the Modernist movement, as Pablo Picasso painted two cubist works, Woman in a Garden and Nude
in an Armchair, during this year. The surrealist painters Salvador Dalíand René Magritte completed several works,
including The First Days
of Spring and The Treachery of
Images. On November 7 in New York City, the Museum of Modern Art opened
to the public. The latest in modern architecture was
also represented by the Barcelona Pavilion in
Spain, and the Royal York Hotel in
Toronto, at its completion the tallest building in the British Empire. Science and technology[edit] Main article: 1929 in science The year saw several advances in technology
and exploration. On June 27 the first
public demonstration of color TV was held by H. E. Ives and his colleagues at
Bell Telephone Laboratories in New York. The first images were a bouquet of
roses and an American flag. A mechanical system was used to transmit 50-line
color television images between New York and Washington. The BBC broadcast
a television transmission for the first time. By November, Vladimir Zworykin had
taken out the first patent for color television. On November 29, Bernt Balchen, U.S. Admiral Richard Byrd, Captain Ashley McKinley,
and Harold June,
became the first to fly over the South Pole. Within the year, Britain,
Australia and New Zealand began a joint Antarctic Research Expedition, and the
German airship Graf Zeppelin began
a round-the-world flight (ended August 29). This year Ernst Schwarz describes Bonobo (Pan paniscus) as a
different species from common chimpanzee (Pan
troglodytes), both closely related phylogenetically to human beings. Events[edit] January[edit] Main article: January 1929 ·
