1920s

The 1920s, known as the Roaring Twenties, was a vibrant decade marked by economic growth, cultural change, and innovation. After World War I, society experienced increased urbanization, technological advances like automobiles and radios, and new entertainment such as jazz music and Hollywood films. People embraced modern lifestyles, flouting old traditions, which led to social shifts and a sense of exuberance. However, the decade also faced challenges like racial tensions and the eventual stock market crash of 1929, which triggered the Great Depression. Overall, it was a transformative period of rapid change and newfound freedom for many in Western societies.
