Welcome to your Chapter 30 reading! As you read, you should consider the following essential question:
  • Was the Roaring 20's truly a period of economic growth and cultural prosperity?
As always, "Focus Questions" should guide your reading and notes, but you do not necessarily have to explicitly answer them.

Press play for a brief explanation from Ms. Truong:
"The war" in this case refers to World War I, which we are skipping in the interest of time.

Press Play for commentary from Ms. Truong
World War I tldr; America was initially reluctant to enter the First World War due to isolationism stemming all the way back to Washignton's Farewell Address and the "America first" mentality of nativism.

Allied Powers: Won
  • Great Britain, the United States, France
Axis Powers: Lost
  • Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire (which no longer exists)
