День в истории: 30 ноября

В Лондоне сгорел Хрустальный дворец 30 ноября 1936 года Хрустальный дворец в лондонском Гайд-парке был уничтожен пожаром, точную причину которого тогда так и не установили. Наиболее вероятной версией назвали неисправность электропроводки. К моменту прибытия первой пожарной машины все здание было охвачено огнем. В тушении пожара задействовали 88 пожарных машин и более 1000 человек. К сожалению, спасти дворец не удалось: на его месте не осталось ничего, кроме двух водонапорных башен, груды искореженного металла и расплавленного стекла. Уинстон Черчилль так сказал о гибели дворца: «Это конец целой эпохи». Больше Хрустальный дворец не восстанавливали. Хрустальный дворец был построен из железа и стекла как выставочный павильон к Первой Всемирной выставке 1851 года. Дворец вмещал до 14 тысяч посетителей. Невиданная в викторианской Англии конструкция из стекла и железа имела грандиозный успех у посетителей выставки и жителей города. Начало советско-финской войны Советско-финская война (или «зимняя война») — вооруженный конфликт между СССР и Финляндией, длившийся с 30 ноября 1939 года по 12 марта 1940 года. Его причиной стали территориальные разногласия между СССР и Финляндией. В результате советско-финской войны была достигнута главная стратегическая цель правительства СССР — обезопасить северо-западную границу страны.
