Genuine Newspapers from any date of your choice Coming so soon after the end of the Great War 1920 was a year of uncertainty; notably, one Adolf Hitler began his rise to prominence in this year when he presented his ideals of National Socialism to a fractured Germany in Munich early in the year. In America political confusion reigned with the refusal to recognise the Treaty of Versailles, while in the sporting world the legendary Babe Ruth became the highest valued player in history when he moved from Boston Red Sox to New York Yankees for a then colossal $125,000. Original newspapers and personalised newspaper books from the date or year of your choice. Great for birthdays and anniversaries… From £24.99
