The 1920s was called various names such as "The Jazz Age," the Age of Intolerance," and the "Age of Nonsense." But perhaps the most telling was the "Roaring Twenties." It was the beginning of modern America, in politics, arts, customs and fads, literature, sports, etc. Americans felt a relief following the Great War. The nation had survived the deadly worldwide influenza epidemic of 1918. The Twenties was a time of change for just about all the population. Youthful "Flapper" women provoked the older generation by smoking in public, wearing brief skirts, bobbed hair styles, and the use of lots of makeup. New fads included the Charleston dance, dance marathons, flagpole sitting, and flying stunts in the new airplanes. The affordability of radio provided entertainment in the living room. Many sports became "spectator sports" with Baseball and Babe Ruth perhaps being the biggest. Business continued to grow and outward appearances seemed to indicate no slowdown in site. More new products were developed and the consumer was given the opportunity to buy these products "on time." Government seemed unwilling to try too much regulation for fear of upsetting the economic boom.

Truman made it on 12 March 1947 vowing to support both Greece and Turkey against any Soviet threat.

the 22nd amendment which stated that a president could only serve two terms.

Harry S Truman, the thirty-third President of the United States, was born on May 8, 1884, meaning that, as of February 2010, he would be 125 years old if he were still alive today.

Ugh!! I was given a gold dollar coin with Harry Truman on it as change at a local gas station. I was a bit curious because I'd never seen one with Truman on it and the attendant at the station was quite anxious to give it as change instead of giving me a dollar bill. There was a line of people behind me so I just took it and went on my way. Now that I know there never was one, it really frustrates me. It was only a dollar, but it's the principle behind it!

There were several while Truman was in office:

* 1945-1945: Edward Stettinius, Jr * 1945-1947: James Byrnes * 1947-1949: George Marshall * 1949-1953: Dean Acheson It should be noted that Truman kept intact the entire cabinet that Roosevelt had selected.

Truman officially desegregated the military.

Harry Truman was a demoncrat.

Truman was an anti-communist, and was the author of what is known as the Truman Doctrine, which stated that the US must act to prevent any additional countries from becoming communist. This was the basis for the Korean War, the Vietnamese War, and many other smaller conflicts around the world. As a Democrat, he also had some modestly progressive ideas, for example, it was on his order that racial segregation in the US military was ended. Of course, it was not until the much later administration of Lyndon Johnson that action was taken on a federal level about racial discrimination in society in general. But Truman did take a small step in that direction.

What was one result of president Harry Truman demobilization in 1946

Harry S Truman (May 8, 1884 - December 26, 1972) was the thirty-fourth Vice President (1945) and the thirty-third President of the United States (1945-1953), succeeding to the office upon the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt on April 12, 1945.

Truman's presidency was eventful, seeing the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the end of World War II, the Marshall Plan to rebuild Europe, the beginning of the Cold War, the desegregation of the US armed forces, the formation of the United Nations, the second red scare, the creation of the CIA, and most of the Korean War. Truman was a folksy, unassuming president, and popularized phrases such as "The buck stops here" and "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen." He overcame the low expectations of many, particularly in the shadow of his politically-dominant predecessor, and although he decided not to run for reelection in 1952 due to low approval ratings, he is now commonly rated among the great Presidents by historians.

From Stalin, whose troops occupied most of Eastern Europe, Truman demanded that free elections be held in those countries. Unfortunately, the Soviets controlled the governments and ensured that communist puppet parties gained power, leading to the Warsaw Pact and Russian hegemony.

He stated the bomb was needed to end the war.

Japan was handled differently than Germany was after WW2. We didn't tople thier government nor did we truely occupy them. This was done to ensure thier support for us using Japan as front line stageing base against Russian for the upcomming war everybody though was going to happen. Luck for us that war stayed "Cold"
