In 1834, legislation was enacted that established penalties for the sale, trade, or introduction of alcohol onto Native American lands. This led to a ban on alcohol within reservations, and Native Americans were prohibited from buying or consuming alcohol even outside of the reservations.

Ernst Kurt Lisso, his wife Renate Stephanie, in chair, and their daughter Regina Lisso after committing suicide by cyanide in the Leipzig New Town Hall to avoid capture by US troops. April 18, 1945 As the Red Army and the Western Allies pressed closer and closer to Berlin suicides grew. Thousands of Germans committed suicide in the spring of 1945, rather than face occupation and the expected abuse by their victors. 3,881 people were recorded as committing suicide during April in the Battle of Berlin, although the figure is probably an underestimate.
