May 21, 1935: What happened on that day?


Here's what happened on May 21, 1935:

  • Nazi Germany Introduces Conscription Law Germany enacted a new conscription law mandating one-year military service for all males aged 18-45, a direct violation of the 1919 Treaty of Versailles. This legislation was a critical component of Hitler's systematic re-armament strategy, signaling Germany's increasing military preparedness and defiance of post-World War I international restrictions.
  • Hitler's Disarmament Speech at Reichstag The Reichstag convened for its fifth session since the Nazi takeover, with Adolf Hitler delivering a calculated diplomatic speech proposing a 13-point plan for disarmament and international relations improvement. Despite the seemingly conciliatory tone, Hitler strategically conditioned Germany's military limitations on other nations' actions, revealing his underlying aggressive geopolitical strategy.
  • Jane Addams: Nobel Peace Prize Recipient Dies Jane Addams, a pioneering American social worker, social reformer, and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, passed away. Known for her groundbreaking work in social welfare, women's suffrage, and international peace advocacy, Addams was a key figure in the Progressive Era who co-founded Hull House in Chicago and was the first American woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize in 1931.
  • Reichswehr Renamed Wehrmacht The German military underwent a significant rebranding, with the Reichswehr being renamed the Wehrmacht. This change was more than semantic, symbolizing the Nazi regime's transformation and modernization of Germany's armed forces, aligning with Hitler's vision of military expansion and national reconstruction.
