America in the 1920s and 1930s

Many people learn history and learn from the past, making it easier to understand the present. But researching what happened is not enough. By changing adverse events that lead to despair and continue to bring benefits to society, you can understand why this happens and make the future a better place. In America in the early 1920s, a new phase emerged with various movements in the political, economic, social, cultural, and foreign policy areas.

America in the 1920s and 1930s were often described as isolationists in the field of security policy. This paper criticizes this characterization. American diplomacy in the 1920s was subtle but ambitious and effective. In fact, during the years following the Pearl Harbor attack, the US policy was very sensitive to the incident on the continent of Europe. Of course, there are isolationists, but they do not approach the majority. In short, American isolationism is a myth.

The history of America in the 1920s and 1930s was very different in many fields, but the main difference in economic situation is clear. The 1920s was characterized by the age of prosperity and optimism, but in the 1930s it was an era of extreme poverty and serious economic difficulties. Also during the Great Depression of 1929, the free market economy of the 1920s replaced the federal government economy in the 1930s. As America became the winner in World War I, the American society returned to isolation, centering on internal production and consumption, and the economy shifted from agriculture to industry. Before World War I, a considerable majority, over 40% of Americans lived in the farm, and by the end of the 20th century the proportion fell to around 25%. The economic situation of the United States in the 1920s was characterized by mass production, mass consumption, income bias.

According to the Associated Press, in the 1920s and 1930s American minorities occupied the majority of the US population. This is estimated to be about 11.9 million people. However, despite all these people, there is still a serious isolation. Caucasians work African-American for them, as slaves, farmers, nanny and as many others. Then, when World War II came, "World War II demands Americans to achieve unprecedented unity and mobilization" (Module 2)
