The Dow Jones Industrial Average, for instance, rose from around 100 points in 1920 to nearly 300 points by the end of 1929. This increase was fueled by speculation, technological advancements, and a booming economy, but it ultimately set the stage for the stock market crash in October 1929.
"During the Roaring 20s there was a farm depression. Farmers produced more food for WWI, but when the war ended there was less need for the goods. Prices of farm products fell 40%. The farm depression led up to the Great Depression. When the farmers went broke, they could not pay their mortgages. They had to rent farms and move. Banks also started to go bankrupt during the 1920s. The banks went broke because the farmers were not doing well. About 550 banks went broke in a year because of the farm failures."
The 1920s, often referred to as the "Roaring Twenties," were characterized by significant social and cultural dynamism in the United States and other parts of the world.
