The 1920's was a very eventful era when the world was recovering from World War One. For some countries such as Canada and the United States, this was a decade of prosperity where the triumphs of Babe Ruth, the music of Gershwin and the Jazz Age grabbed headlines. However, in counrties like Germany, there was poverty and resentment. The 20's are also known for Prohibition and its consequences. The decade ended in the worst possible way with the onset of the Great Depression in October of 1929. Professional sports such as Baseball and hockey thrived during this decade and cars began to be a common sight in major cities. In Europe, Stalin rose to power in Russia after the death of Lenin and in Italy, Mussolini rose to power and introduced facism. This is a brief summary of what happened in the 1920's.
