APUSH Chapter 30 - American Life in the Roaring 20's (1920-1929) - Haiyen Truong | Library

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.

"The war" in this case refers to World War I, which we are skipping in the interest of time.

1

What do you already know about World War I (either from prior knowledge or World History last year)?

World War I tldr; America was initially reluctant to enter the First World War due to isolationism stemming all the way back to Washington's Farewell Address and the "America first" mentality of nativism. We eventually joined WWI after discovery of the Zimmerman telegram, which revealed a potential alliance between Germany and Mexico to regain territories lost in the Mexican-American War.

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

Don't be fooled by the questions in your history textbook. Blackface is still an issue today!

According to a New York Times poll from February 2019, 1 in 5 American adults have seen someone wear blackface in person. The findings were pretty even across genders, age groups, political parties, and education.
