1927

From top to bottom, left to right: The Chinese Civil War intensifies as the Shanghai massacre sees Chiang Kai-shek purge Communists from the Kuomintang, while the Autumn Harvest Uprising led by Mao Zedong marks an early Communist insurrection; the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 devastates seven U.S. states, displacing hundreds of thousands; aviator Charles Lindbergh completes the first solo nonstop transatlantic flight in the Spirit of St. Louis from New York to Paris; the Ararat rebellion erupts as Kurdish nationalists resist Turkish rule in eastern Anatolia; the Bath School disaster in Michigan kills 45 in the deadliest U.S. school bombing; and The Jazz Singer introduces synchronized sound, launching the era of “talkies” and transforming cinema.
