In October 1929, the British [[Judicial Committee of the Privy Council]] overturned a ruling by the [[Supreme Court of Canada]] that women could not be members of the legislature. This case, which came to be known as the [[Persons Case]], had important ramifications not just for the rights of women but because in overturning the case, the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council engendered a radical change in the Canadian judicial approach to the Canadian constitution, an approach that has come to be known as the "[[living tree doctrine]]". The five women who initiated the case are known in Canada as the [[The Famous Five (Canada)|Famous Five]].<ref name=Brennan>{{cite book|first=Brian|last=Brennan|title=Alberta Originals: Stories of Albertans Who Made a Difference|year=2001|publisher=Fifth House|page=[https://archive.org/details/albertaoriginals0000bren/page/14 14]|isbn=1-894004-76-0|url=https://archive.org/details/albertaoriginals0000bren/page/14}}</ref> In November, the [[1929 Grand Banks earthquake]] occurred off the south coast of [[Newfoundland (island)|Newfoundland]] in the Atlantic Ocean. It registered as a [[Richter magnitude]] 7.2 [[submarine earthquake]] centered on [[Grand Banks]], broke 12 submarine [[transatlantic telegraph cable]]s and triggered a [[tsunami]] that destroyed many south coast communities in the [[Burin Peninsula]] area, killing 28 (as of 1997, Canada's most lethal earthquake).<ref name="shunpiking.com"/> [[Ross-Loos Medical Group]] is established in downtown Los Angeles by two physicians, Donald E. Ross and H. Clifford Loos - the first [[HMO]] in the United States.
The Mexican [[Cristero War]] continued in 1929 as clerical forces attempted an assassination of the provisional president in a train bombing in February. The attempt failed. [[Plutarco Calles]], at the center of power for the anti-clerics, continued to gather power in Mexico City. His government was considered an enemy to more conservative Mexicans who held to traditional forms of government and more religious control. Calles founded the National Revolutionary Party early in the year to increase his power; a party which was, ironically, seen by foreigners as fascist and which was in opposition to the Mexican Right. A special election was held in this year, which Jose Vasconselos lost to Ortiz Rubio. By this time, the war had ended.<ref>Sherman, John. ''The Mexican Right'' New York: Praeger, 1997. {{ISBN|0-275-95736-5}} pp. 18–23</ref> The last group of rebels was defeated on June 4, and in the same month US Ambassador [[Dwight Morrow]] initiated talks between parties. On [[June 21]] an agreement was brokered ending the Cristero War. On [[June 27]], church bells rang and mass was held publicly for the first time in three years. The agreement heavily favored the government, as priests were required to register with the government and religion was banned from schools.<ref>Scheina, Robert.

The year saw several advances in technology and exploration. On [[June 27]] the first public demonstration of color TV was held by H. E. Ives and his colleagues at Bell Telephone Laboratories in New York. The first images were a bouquet of roses and an American flag. A mechanical system was used to transmit 50-line color television images between New York and Washington. The [[BBC]] broadcast a television transmission for the first time. By November, [[Vladimir Zworykin]] had taken out the first patent for color television. On [[November 29]], [[Bernt Balchen]], U.S. Admiral [[Richard E. Byrd|Richard Byrd]], Captain Ashley McKinley, and [[Harold June]], became the first to fly over the [[South Pole]]. Within the year, Britain, Australia and New Zealand began a joint [[British Australian and New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition|Antarctic Research Expedition]], and the German airship ''[[LZ 127 Graf Zeppelin|Graf Zeppelin]]'' began a round-the-world flight (ended [[August 29]]). This year [[Ernst Schwarz (zoologist)|Ernst Schwarz]] describes [[Bonobo]] (''Pan paniscus'') as a different species from [[common chimpanzee]] (''Pan troglodytes''), both closely related phylogenetically to human beings.
