November 30, 1936
On November 30, 1936, violent tremors shook the city of Salvador, Brazil, causing distress for its residents as the tremors persisted for three days. This natural disaster coincided with significant geopolitical shifts in Europe, as Hungary's Regent, Miklós Horthy, received a grand welcome in Austria, suggesting deeper ties between Hungary and the Axis powers, particularly in context of the Berlin-Tokyo Pact. The warm reception was particularly notable given the local socialists' animosity towards Horthy. In the United States, societal issues loomed large, with Bishop Welch addressing the rising despair and suicide rates, advocating for a renewed faith and purpose, which he described as part of 'God's Plan'. This call aimed to inspire hope amidst a backdrop of increasing economic and social pressures.
