This video is part of a series that traces the history of America from the 1890s through the Depression Era. The films are intended for instruction of students between junior high school and college. This episode looks at the years following the end of World War I, which marked America's entrance into the world arena as a leader. The relief and reconstruction efforts in Europe were under the auspices of the United States, with President Herbert Hoover leading the way. In the United States, the nation turned its attentions once again to industry and technology. ~ Rose of Sharon Winter, Rovi
