I post this as a question. I ask that if there was an event in this world that was on par with the 1920's great depression? This effected not just the financial markets but the way people led their lives and shaped countries into what they are Some poor desperate people in certain countries like mine (Saint Feinsz) would've lost faith in the mainstream governing institutions and their experiment with parliamentary democracy would've turned sour, and fell into the arms of fringe nationalistic authoritarian demagogues that became dangerous fascist dictators in times of economic hardship and despair to save them from helplessness.

Others went in a different direction. I ask because I was wondering if there is a point of history that connects al of our nations so that we have a shared point of reference within the modern era.
