In 1933, the United States was in the midst of the Great Depression, and the world was in the midst of the rise of fascism. In January, Adolf Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany, and the Nazi Party quickly began to consolidate power. In March, the United States officially went off the gold standard, and in May, the United States Congress passed the Agricultural Adjustment Act, which created the first major federal farm subsidy program. In June, the National Industrial Recovery Act was passed, which provided federal aid to businesses and set up the National Recovery Administration. In August, the 21st Amendment was ratified, which ended the prohibition of alcohol in the United States. Finally, in December, the United States officially recognized the Soviet Union, ending a long period of diplomatic isolation. 1933 was a year of great historical significance, and the events of that year would shape the course of history for decades to come.
