April 04, 1933: What happened on that day?


Here's what happened on April 04, 1933:

  • Roosevelt's Gold Ownership Ban President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued Executive Order 6102, declaring a national emergency and making private gold ownership illegal for American citizens. This unprecedented economic policy was part of the New Deal's strategy to stabilize the U.S. financial system during the Great Depression.
  • Nazi Civil Service Law The German government passed the Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service, which was a key early legislation of the Nazi regime that systematically removed Jews and political opponents from government positions, laying groundwork for broader discriminatory policies.
  • USS Akron Airship Disaster The USS Akron, a U.S. Navy rigid airship, was destroyed by a severe storm off the coast of New Jersey, resulting in the tragic loss of 73 out of 76 crew members. This catastrophic maritime and aviation incident highlighted the extreme risks faced by early airship technology and naval exploration.

Norway accepted the court's decision, peacefully resolving a potential international territorial conflict through diplomatic means.
