The '''1930s''' was a time of increasing concern about [[fascism]] in [[Europe]], and saw a [[The Business Plot|failed fascist coup]] in the USA.
==The Great Depression==
{{FA|The Great Depression}}
In the US particularly, widespread deprivation was labelled "[[The Great Depression]]".
===The Business Plot===
{{FA|The Business Plot}}
[[image:Business Plot.jpg|left|330px]]
A cabal of [[Wall St]] businessmen organised a fascist coup in USA. Their conspiracy was exposed when the front man, General [[Smedley Butler]] [[blew the whistle]] on the group. The group used its [[control of the corporate media]] to try to airbrush the plot from the historical record, a ''[[New York Times]]'' editorial terming it a "gigantic hoax." and a "bald and unconvincing narrative."
==Military build up in Europe==
The 1930s saw a rise in [[fascism]] in Europe, and a large military build up. Some [[Wall St]] investors, such as [[Prescott Bush]]{{cn}} and [[Brown Brothers Harriman]] helped [[Fritz Thyssen]] finance [[Adolf Hitler]].<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/world/2004/sep/25/usa.secondworldwar</ref>
==World War II==
{{FA|World War II}}
In 1939, [[Adolf Hitler]]'s Germany staged a [[false flag]] incident, the [[Gleiwitz Incident]], and then invaded [[Poland]]. [[UK]] and [[France]] declared [[war]] as a response.
==Reefer Madness==
In USA, an intense anti-[[marijuana]] movement coalesced with an anti-Chicano; since marijuana was associated with Mexican-Americans, a ban on marijuana was seen as a way of discouraging Mexican-American subcultures from developing.<ref>https://www.thoughtco.com/why-is-marijuana-illegal-721155</ref> The 1937 [[Marijuana Tax Act]] levied an almost prohibitive tax on the drug and it was alleged to be a "gateway drug" that lead to [[heroin]] use<ref>https://www.thoughtco.com/history-of-the-war-on-drugs-721152</ref>, as promoted by the film ''[[Reefer Madness]]''.
