Empire Builders Los Angeles

Los Angeles, one of the largest cities in the United States and the world, has a unique story; home to indigenous tribes, just two hundred years ago Los Angeles was a small outpost of Mexico, after it took possession of California from Spain after the Mexican War of Independence; taken by the US in the Mexican- American war of 1848, Los Angeles remained a scrappy Cowtown until the discovery of oil in the 1890's.

The Hollywood film studios are founded by Jewish immigrants from central and eastern Europe who achieve their American Dream by acquiring a social status equal to the Los Angeles WASP elite.
