I was 15 in 1953. You think you feel old?
I'll check 1938. I know FDR was President.
Except for the invention of the ball point pen, it was a awful year. They didn't mention Gone With the Wind and Wizard of Oz films but I think they were either '38 or early '39. Anyhow:
Franklin Delano Roosevelt is president of the US
A nationwide scare results from radio dramatization of War of the Worlds by Orson Welles
German troops roll into Austria; Hitler declares the reunification of Austria with the German Reich
In Germany, 7500 Jewish businesses are destroyed during Kristallnacht
The first practical ballpoint pen is developed by Laszlo Brio, A Hungarian journalist
The Germans invade Poland which leads the Allies to declare war
New York Yankees win the World Series
New York Giants win the NFL championship
Chicago Blackhawks win the Stanley Cup
