The Roaring Twenties refer to the period between 1920 and 1929 in the United States and Europe, characterized by significant cultural, social, and economic changes. It was a time of great economic prosperity, with rapid industrialization, urbanization, and technological advancements, such as the rise of the automobile and radio.
In the United States, the Roaring Twenties were marked by cultural shifts, such as the rise of jazz music, flapper fashion, and the Harlem Renaissance. It was also a time of prohibition, when the sale and consumption of alcohol were banned, leading to the emergence of secretive speakeasies and widespread organized crime.
Despite the economic prosperity and cultural advancements of the era, the Roaring Twenties also had its downsides, such as the unequal distribution of wealth, which contributed to the Great Depression that followed in the 1930s.
