When Herbert Hoover was six year s of age his father died of Typhoid fever, and about three years later his mother died of pneumonia. In 1884, after the death of their mother, the three children moved to Newberg, Oregon, with Henry John Minthorn, their mother’s brother who is a doctor. In Newberg, Hoover worked on a farm and he attended a Quaker academy that his uncle helped direct.

            In 1888, he worked as an office boy in a land settlement office in Salem and he studied mathematics attending night school. His professor of math, Joseph Swain, helped him gain admittance to the Leland Stanford Junior University in Palo Alto, California. He worked his way through college, typing, doing laundry and working as a secretary for a geology professor. During his senior year, he met a geology student from Iowa, Lou Henry, who would later become his wife. Hoover graduated with his bachelor’s degree in mining engineering in May 1895.

President Hoover President Herbert Hoover was born in1874 in an Iowa village, but he grew up in Iowa. He grew up in a Quaker family. His father died in 1880 and became orphaned after his mother died in 1884. Herbert was self-reliant and ambitious at a young at a young age. He was a member of the first entertaining class of students at the new Leland Stanford Junior University in California, in 1891. He managed the football and baseball teams and helped in many ways. He was elected student body treasurer on the "Barbarian" slate; he lso got rid of their debt. After graduating from Stanford University in 1895 with a degree in Geology, he was unable to find a job as a mining engineer, so he worked as a clerk in the San Francisco consulting firm of Louis Janin. Hoover arrived in western Australia, in 1897, and spent the next year and a half planning development work, ordering and laying out equipment, and examining new prospects. Bored with making money, the Quaker side of him yearned to be of service to others. When World War I started in August 1914, he helped organize the return home of 120,000 American tourists and businessmen from Europe. Hoover led 500 volunteers to distribute food, clothing, and other such things. "Hoover, Herbert." Info:Main Page - New World Encyclopedia. 25, July 2006. Web. 28 Mar.

In 1930 Joseph Stalin gained total dictatorial control over the party, the state, and the entire Communist International. Apparently In 1932 his second wife, Nadezhda Alleluyeva, killed herself over Stalin’s dictatorial rule of the party. During World War 2 his first child, Jacob, was taken by German soldiers. In back-to-back five-year plan, the Soviet Union under Stalin began to modernize with great speed. World War 2 brought total destruction to several cities and death to millions of Russian citizens. By the end of Stalin’s life the nation had become an important industrial country in the world (second to the United States). Stalin jailed and executed vast numbers of party members, especially the old revolutionaries and the leading figures in many other areas. Stalin created a new kind of political system characterized by severe police control, strengthening of the government, and personal dictatorship. Stalin also had complete political control with no opposition. When Germany invaded the Soviet Union at the begging of WWII Stalin then assumed formal command of the entire military establishment. His military strategy was not like others during the war. Stalin and the Soviet Union won the war, and emerged as one of the major powers in the world, and managed to bargain for a distribution of the spoils of the war that enlarged its area of domination significantly. On March 5, 1953 Joseph Stalin died of a brain hemorrhage (an abnormal bleeding of the brain). His body was placed in a tomb next to Lenin’s in Red Square in Moscow (Russia’s capital city). After Stalin’s heath he became a controversial figure in the communist world, where appreciation for his great achievements was offset by harsh criticism of his method

Mr. Wartman- 1930's Research Project

Harper Lee’s To Kill A Mockingbird is a novel deeply tied to the period of the 1930’s. Because we are so removed from that time period, before reading, we are going to conduct some research. Working in partners, you are to research an aspect of life in America during the 1930’s. I have given you a sheet of possible topics (posted on my LC website), but if you would like to do something different, that would be great; just ask me to approve your topic before you begin researching it. Once you have researched your topic, you are to write a couple of paragraphs (at least 300 words) describing your topic. Cite your sources in your paragraphs. Also include the necessary works cited list at the end of your paragraphs. Don’t create a separate works cited page (like we did on our how to papers); just put the citations at the end of your write up. Do all of this using Microsoft Word. Once you have completed your research and paragraphs, you need to post your paragraphs on the class blog. Copy and paste the word document into the blog editor. The title needs to be your name and the topic of the post, so it should be something like “Mr. Wartman- TKAM/1930’s Research Project.” After you and your partner have posted your paragraphs, the two of you need to read your classmates’ posts and write a comment on your favorite post explaining why it was your favorite blog entry. You will be required to use this blog again as we continue reading To Kill A Mockingbird; it is imperative that you fully understand how to read an entry, post an entry, and comment on an entry by the end of this activity because you will have to do this without my assistance.
