Decade - 1920s

In the 1920s in some countries - such as in European countries, USA, Canada, Australia, etc. - women were able to work outside the home more and they were no longer regarded only as housewives and mothers or just as "slaves" to the men. Women began to have more equal chances to work in many different professions and in several other areas. For instance they were able to play sports professionally, e.g. tennis.

However, in countries situated in the Middle East, Africa, etc., hardly any of those new roles became possible for women.

'theme's' is an interesting concept during the 1920s both the democrats and the republicans tried to repesent themselves as pro-business, the belief of rugged individualism and lassiez faire, both had conservative and liberial wings and both were generally opposed to granting black civil rights. The democrats were on the whole more likely to support tarrifs but the main difference was in foreign policy and prohibition. In the 1920 election, Warren Harding represented a change away from the largely unsuccesful reforms of Roosevalt and Wilson's foreign policies. Many argue that the 1920 presidential election was the end of the progressive era. Wilson had been pushing for entry to the league of nations, something that seemed to conflict with middle America patriotism. The United States had fought a war of independence against Britain, a war against slavery in the south and imperailism in world war one. The United States did not want to be subject to a foregin power(s) again. Harding's 'return to normalcy' struck a bell into the hearts of ordinary American's who saw Harding as representing small town America(the majority of the population still lived in rural areas and small towns in the 1920s).

Scandal soon broke out in late 1921 over the corruption of the Harding adminstration and to spite economic recovery the Republicans suffered a large defeat loosing much of their majority. To spite Harding's popularity his death in 1923 allowed Republicans to blame the scandal on him and lead to his Vice president, Calvin Coolige to victory. The 1924 election is an interesting one because of the conflict in the democratic party. The party was in a real sense a coalition of two party's first a regional southern party and second a big city pro-immigrant liberal party. The party's sharp division can be seen in the fact that it took over 103 ballots before a candiate could be nominated and the faied denoncement of the KKK. The democrats had another problem, senator Robert M. LaFollette had split from the republicans and forming a new progressive party. The new party meant many liberal democrats ended up supporting LaFollette especially after the conservative, John W Davis received nomination. Coolidge won by a landslide victory with 382 of the electoral vote.

will add more soon

The Great Migration occurred because of racism, segragation and etc. The Great Migration also ocurred because of the Harlem Reneaissance which was that blacks would entertain whites.

the women of the 1920's stayed at home as domestic help, while the men were busy at work. the 1920's was a big turning point for women. all thanks to Emily Murphy.

Very bad they had to live on the street or find what ever they could to make a house. Most of the poor people made little villages called "Hoovervilles" made up of cardboard boxes and scrap metal.

In the 1920s the United States became fearful and hesitant of immigration mainly because of the First World War. The Americans feared communism and were concerned with the damage they had been left with after the First World War. They also didn't agree with immigrants coming over with different religious backgrounds.

Well, many things happened during the 1920s. America had just ended the Progressive Era which was full of political changes such as the secret ballot, prohibition, direct election of senators, and direct primaries. The progressives also instituted an income tax (16th amendment) and gave women the right to vote (19th amendment). Many negative changes also occured such as the Red Scare, a post-war recession which eventually led to the Sotck Market Crah in 1929 and a rebirth of the KKK. There was also two major court cases: The Sacco and Vanzetti Trials which accused two immigrants of communism without evidence, and the Scopes Trial which covered the issue of evolution in schools.

The United States.

The most invention most used in the 1920's was the radio because it was invented in 1921 and became very popular but became less popular with the stock marke crashed and Great Depression started

The 20's were a roar because there was lots of jobs going around, thus people had lots of money. This means they can afford to get married, this means lots of sex, this means boomer babies galore XD

(From the WSJ) "In 1923, William McMaster, then governor of South Dakota, called the price of gas in his state -- 26.6 cents a gallon (equal to about $3.16 today) -- "no less than highway robbery." Late that summer, he asked Standard Oil Co., which supplied most of his state's gas, to reduce its price. When Standard said no, Mr. McMaster decided to cut out the middleman. Using public funds, Gov. McMaster bought 160,000 gallons of cut-rate gas from a Chicago distributor and began selling it at a state depot for 16 cents a gallon ($1.94 now). He also announced that he planned to buy an additional half-million gallons and pump them at cost from several other state-owned stations. A day after Mr. McMaster announced his idea, Standard Oil reduced gas prices in South Dakota to 16.6 cents a gallon. As governors of other Midwestern states sent telegrams to Standard Oil demanding the same deal, the price cuts spread to several other states. Eventually, Mr. McMaster and Standard negotiated a price of about 20 cents a gallon."

The main cause of the economic growth in the 1920's was Henry Fords invention of the production line. this made once luxury items easy to produce and therefore cheaper and easier for the average person to buy. this also made many new jobs in new industries this was a cycle, more production and factories meant more jobs which meant more money and thus more people buying certain products which were hard to buy before the invention of the production line (this goes around).

isolationism and laissez-faire business policy

During the 1960s popular games among children were Clue, Rock'em Sock'em Robots, Life, and Twister.

Bien lo que mi bisabuela de guetamala me dijo fue que nuestros antepasados fueron los mayas, fueron realmente corto personas que trincadas juntas de jefes y rompió delante de las narices que constantemente lo que hay algo que ellos realizado, que también estaban atados a perlas hay cabello a fin de hacer cruzar eyed, entonces una vez que eran mayores que quemaron todo el vello de la parte delantera del cuero cabelludo off.

Organized crime as at an all time high during the 1920's due to prohibition(outlawing alcohol). The 1920's was a big partying time, so drinking was a big part of it. When people couldn't get their hands on alcohol they were willing to do anything to get it, crime. ALso they resorted to other drugs like weed, opium, heroin etc.

Why was the U.S. economy so important to the world economy in the 1920s? U.S. factories produced half of the world's industrial goods. The United States owed money to other countries at that time. U.S. citizens imported more goods than any other country. The United States was owed money by other countries.

In the early 1920's helmets were leather.In the 1930's people tried to make helmets out of plastic,but they shaddered and caused worse injuries.So leather helmets survived to see another game.In the late 1960's plastic helmets were tried again and this time they suceeded.

The rise of nativism in the 1920s was caused mainly by immigration. the massive influx of "new" immigrants scared most of the population. then after WWI Americans were even more afraid that immigrants from war torn Europe would leave to start new lives in America. they did not want the immigrants to take their jobs. but so many new jobs were being made available in this time period that it was innevitable.
