1936
From top to bottom, left to right: the Spanish Civil War begins as Franco’s Nationalists rise against the Republicans; at the 1936 Summer Olympics, Jesse Owens wins four gold medals, defying Nazi racial ideology; the death and state funeral of George V shocks Britain, followed by the Abdication of Edward VIII; the Remilitarisation of the Rhineland violates the Treaty of Versailles, emboldening Hitler; the Anti-Comintern Pact is signed by Germany and Japan against the Soviet Union; the February 26 incident, a failed coup attempt in Japan, leads to political purges.
