Hello to the Hub! This is my first post!

This is not an attempt at a TL, just some ideas I had. What do you think?

1919

June: Treaty of Versailles. The Treaty of Versailles is signed and the Great War officially ends.

July: European Trade Organization is created, ushering in a new economic boost. A key point of the Treaty of Versailles calls for the formation of the European Trade Organization. The organization is formed to encourage all European nations to work together to establish peace.

1927

January: First commercial transatlantic phone call is made between New York City and London by the American Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT&T).

1929

October: Economic Uncertainty - Fears that the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act will pass sends the Dow Jones Average down 5% in one hour. President Herbert Hoover gives a radio address promising to veto the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act to spare global trade from crippling taxation. Hoover's act prevents an economic depression in America. By the end of the next trading day (Green Tuesday), the Dow Jones has recovered its losses.

1930

August: Environmental Instability causes previously unseen weather patterns. Strange weather patterns cause storms and heavy rains to fall across the American Great Plains.

September: The Wiemar Republic gains support as a result of Germany's ETO status. In Germany, recovery from the Great War to a full member of the ETO solidifies support for the Wiemar Republic government. They easily win reappointment in the Reichstag general elections. The National Socialists' party's extreme agenda is ridiculed and marginalized.
