July 9, 1935
On July 9, 1935, a significant event unfolded in Zagreb, Croatia, as Croats held a large march to express their national sentiments amid rising tensions in Europe. This period was marked by the growing influence of totalitarian regimes, particularly in Germany and Italy, leading to increasing anxiety about the stability of democratic institutions. In the United States, President Franklin D. Roosevelt continued to push forward with his New Deal initiatives, which included major federal grants aimed at infrastructure and healthcare improvement, exemplified by the approval of $2,566,225 for various projects in New York, including funds for the Kings Hospital Nurses' Home. Meanwhile, local governance in New York faced scrutiny as Mayor LaGuardia noted that the proposals for relief appeared to be 'past history,' suggesting a shift in focus from immediate aid to long-term solutions.
