  • Mass Production
  • Mass Consumption
  • Income Polarization
The end of World War I saw the United States retreat into isolation. The Senate refused to ratify the Versailles Peace Treaty that ended World War I. The U.S. failed to join the League of Nationsthe international organization that was the less-successful interwar predecessor of the United Nations. The U.S. raised tariffs early in the 1920s (although not to levels that appreciably discouraged imports). Most important, perhaps, the 1920s saw he end of free immigration into the United States. Migration from Asia had been restricted for several generations. Migration from Africa had never been an issue. But up until the mid-1920s migration from Europe had been unrestricted. More than 1.2 million immigrants had come to the U.S. in 1914. But once the immigration restrictions of the 1920s took effect, the overall total was fixed at only 160,000 or so immigrants a year. Moreover, different nations had different quotas. The quotas for immigrants from northern and western Europe were more than ample for the demand. The quotas for immigrants from southern and eastern Europe were very small. The United States tried to pretend that the rest of the world did not really exist. Its people turned inward, and they found that they had plenty to do. For in the 1920s the United States became a modern middle-class economy of radios, consumer appliances, automobiles and suburbs. Nearly thirty million motor vehicles were on the road in 1929, one for every five residents of the country. Mass production had made the post-World War I United States the richest society the world had ever seen.

Roaring Twenties
also called the jazz age, the period after World War I from 1921 to 1929. It was a time of isolationism , escapism, and some social reform. Prohibition prompted a wave of lawbreaking when many Americans made liquor at home, gangsters bootlegged liquor, and organized crime escalated. The 1920s was an era of apparent business prosperity under Presidents Warren G. Harding, Calvin Coolidge, and Herbert Hoover, although political corruption caused embarrassment during the Harding administration. Many Americans enjoyed what seemed to be a rising standard of living, evidenced by enormous overspeculation in the stock market and excessive amounts of easy credit. The 1920s were the time of the flapper and of a flourishing entertainment industry, with crowds flocking to theaters and sports stadiums. Critical agricultural, industrial, and financial problems, however, led to the stock market crash of 1929 and the Great Depression , thus ending the prosperity and recklessness of the Roaring Twenties.

    Home Page Welcome Research Visiting the Library ... Mailbox GALLERY THREE: The Roaring Twenties Linked pictures are available for purchase. This gallery depicts some of the enormous changes that took place in sports, literature, technology, communications, and other areas of American life during the 1920s.
    A Decade of Change
    The Twenties were the cradle of modern America, beginning with the 1920 census, the first ever to report a majority of Americans living in urban areas. Daylight Savings Time was a spinoff of the war. So were jazz, Wall Street speculation and women's suffrage.
    An explosion of new inventions and technological breakthroughs transformed popular lifestyles. Rayon stockings eliminated artificial distinctions between shopgirls and ladies of leisure. Shorter work weeks and increased wages led to a revolution in communications, transportation and recreation. Radio tied the nation together, and Hollywood gave it a common culture by cranking out 2,000 films a year. Charlie Chaplin and Babe Ruth became as famous as Henry Ford and Charles Lindbergh. Even the universe itself was being redefined, thanks to the pioneering work of scientists like Albert Einstein. As Secretary of Commerce, Herbert Hoover rejoiced in the scientific and technological ingenuity of the age. "There are continents of human welfare of which we have only penetrated the coastal plane," he enthused.
