AMERICA IN THE 20's

The 1920's were a time of tremendous change in America. 

USA was one of the victors in the First World War and it enjoyed a period of great prosperity in the 1920's, though there was a darker side to American life even then. In the 1930's the Great Depression began in America and its effects were very serious there. Unlike Germany, though,  USA managed to avoid dictatorship and remained a democracy.
