1929! by Franci Hart
In 1929, Oklahoma was mainly an agriculture state. Oklahoma farmers who had been facing economic difficulties for some time, found lowering prices due to the market crash debilitating. Many tenant farmers were forced to accept charity and soup lines began to form. The Dust Bowl was just beginning. In addition, a worldwide oil glut forced oil prices down. Prior to the crash, Oklahoma had been producing over 24% of the nations oil.

Globally, there were the Palestine riots between Arabs and Jews over the West Wall in Jerusalem, civil war in Afghanistan, and clashes between China and the Soviet Union over a Chinese railroad. Fascism was rising in Italy and Germany was facing unemployment and economic instability.
