One reason for the economic boom was that soldiers were returning home from ww2 and the Cold War. The G.I bill (Servicemen's Readjustment Act) provided veterans with money, college tuition, and low interest loans so that they could buy homes. this contributed to the economy because soldiers returning home had money to spend. Another reason for the economic boom was new technology being invented that people wanted to buy.
A combination of factors resulted in a very good decade. You should be aware, however, that a couple of severe downturns also occurred during the 1980's. The 1987 Stock Market crash resulted in installation of "circuit breaker" regulations, due to the implied role of "programmed trading" in the crash. In the early eighties, rampant inflation and runaway gas prices resulted in a large recession. Also S&L debacle, etc.
The factors that contributed positively are:
Favorable tax policy and tax legislation resulted in a reduction of overall average income taxes as a percentage of earnings. Capital gains rates were reduced making investors both large and small (and almost everyone is an investor whether they know it or not -- do you have a 401k....Union Retirement Fund?) feel more optimism and increase slightly the amount invested.
Some hope that bloated government might be better trimmed and managed, became common during parts of the decade.
Stumbles or downfalls of competitor nations (Japan, USSR/Russia) occurred spurring optimism in the west.
Improved technology, and the wider distribution of this technology resulted in improved (or the promise thereof) productivity and in the breaking of new industries (e.g. web development) or the cost reduction of others. This also resulted in vast increases in knowledge regarding Biology and in materials science and agriculture.
Monetary policy became important for managing inflation and providing a benchmark for relating the money market to the overall economy (i.e. the "Fed", during the period stuck to a policy where it would seek to keep the supply of money growing at the same rate as the real change in GDP--Gross Domestic Product) This kind of stability is very favorable to retirees on fixed incomes, and it also allows for a predictable environment for financial business and business in general.

A few factors of the sudden economic boom of 1920s in Australian are: - Migrants and refugees from wars - Influences made by British and American on building a developed country - Due to increase in immigration and population, Australians required more food and jobs and that led to a boom on Australia's economy.
No, France and Britain did not experience an economic boom. As a matter of fact, during the 1970s Britain experienced severe inflation and worker strikes. By 1972 over a million people were unemployed. It was a time of dismal economic decline. Conditions were much the same in France.
