1920s America

The 1920s in America, often called the "Roaring Twenties," was a vibrant decade marked by economic growth, cultural change, and social upheaval. Following World War I, the nation experienced a booming economy, with innovations in industry and consumer culture. Jazz music and flapper fashion symbolized a break from traditional norms. Prohibition, which banned alcohol, led to speakeasies and organized crime. This era also saw the rise of the Harlem Renaissance, celebrating African American culture. However, it ended with the 1929 stock market crash, leading to the Great Depression, which dramatically changed the country’s trajectory.
