In general terms, the 1920s and 1930s in the United States may be compared (in fact, contrasted) in these simple terms: good times and then bad times. In the 1920s, the country was riding a post-war wave of economic prosperity, national pride, and widespread confidence. After the market crash in 1929, the country then fell into the Great Depression, the final effects of which were not erased until America entered World War II in late 1941.
