what happened during the 1920s?

Since the closing of the 20th Century, the 1920s has drawn close associations with the 1990s,especially in the United States. This due to the fact both decades were considered very economically prosperous times, and a prosperity which lasted throughout almost the entire decade following a tremendous event at the closing of the previous decade (World War I and Spanish flu in the late 1910s, and the end of the Cold War in the late 1980s). In the United States, this decade was known as the Roaring Twenties.\n\nDespite the comparisons, however, there were a number of differences. First of all, Weimar Republic Germany, like many other European countries, had to face a severe economic downturn in the opening years of the decade, due to the enormous debt caused by the war as well as the one-sided Treaty of Versailles. Such a crisis would culminate with a devaluation of the Mark in 1923, eventually leading to economic prosperity during the remainder of the period.\n\nSecond, the decade was characterized by the rise of radical political movements, especially in regions that were once part of empires. Communism began attracting large numbers of followers following the success of the October Revolution and the Bolsheviks' determination to win the subsequent Russian Civil War. The Bolsheviks would eventually adopt semi-capitalist policies-- New Economic Policy-- from 1921 to 1928. The 1920s also experienced the rise of the far-right in Europe and elsewhere, starting with Fascism in Italy, and were perceived by some in the Western world as an antidote to Communism.

It was in the 1920's.  It's a type of dual citizenship where they are autonomous, but yet fall under federal jurisdiction

Those are very different questions.\n\nThe first I'd say WWI, the widescale adoption of the automobile, the general rise of automation and the decline of small-plot agriculture, the great depression, the new deal, and WWII.\n\nThe second I'd say probably the loosening of immigration restictions, the exodus from Europe preceeding the two world wars, and the rise of the united states as a world superpower.

1920s but only in certain mundane circles, and only with a cigarette holder.

This sounds too much like someone's homework!\n\nThe period is far to wide to narrow down any of the categories you want info in.  Perhaps you should actually look it up in some books - you know, actually do some research!

The Great Depression of 1929 was a worldwide economic downturn, starting in 1929 and lasting through most of the 1930s. It ended at different times in different countries. Almost all countries were affected. The worst hit were the most industrialized, including the United States, Germany, Britain, France, Canada, Australia, and Japan. Cities around the world were hit hard, especially those based on heavy industry. Construction virtually halted in the United States and other countries. Farmers and rural areas suffered as prices for crops fell by 40-60%. Mining and lumbering areas were perhaps the hardest hit because demand fell sharply and there was little alternative economic activity.\n\nPresident Herbert Hoover's Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon advised Hoover that a shock treatment would be the best response: "Liquidate labor, liquidate stocks, liquidate the farmers, liquidate real estate. . . . [That] will purge the rottenness out of the system. High costs of living and high living will come down. People will work harder, live a more moral life. Values will be adjusted, and enterprising people will pick up the wrecks from less competent people" (Hoover Memoirs 3:9). Hoover rejected the advice, made Mellon an ambassador, and tried to keep wages high, farm prices high, and public works going to ameliorate the distress—but it only got worse.\n\nThe Stock Market Crash did not plunge all Americans into instant poverty. Indeed, about one third of the population was seriously hurt by 1932. The other two thirds (who were employed) suffered from reductions in job security, money income, and hours of work; due to reduced prices they gained in real wages and suffered in terms of debt. However the depth of the suffering was far more acute than the height of the benefits with extreme poverty and even serious malnutrition. Moreover even those that benefitted were unsure of their future; many had family who were hurt.\n\nEasy credit fueled the consumer driven economy of the 1920s, and following the depression, credit availability began to tighten, both for business and consumers. With lenders restricting their credit availability, and moving quickly to secure their liabilities, employers who were hurt by the ripple effect of Wall Street were the first to be liquidated. As employers closed their companies, the ranks of the unemployed grew, which further complicated the banking situation by reducing income from credit lines, which cascaded into a liquidity crisis leading up to the banking panic of 1933.\n\nConsumers who had taken advantage of credit sometimes were unable to meet the monthly payment and repossession of automobiles, furniture and household goods became common.\n\nForeclosures on home mortgages rose throughout the period, and affected people in all income brackets. In a few localities, the forced sale of personal property drew neighbors who attempted to disrupt the proceedings as a form of protest of the action and support of the family under the eviction notice. The angry crowds also had the effect of scaring off potential bidders for auction goods. While this allowed neighbors to pay pennies on the dollar for their neighbors' possessions (which were occasionally given back to the family following the sale), it also did little to reduce the debt of the family being evicted.\n\nThe wealthy, who had significant investments in Wall Street, did experience losses; however those losses depended on how investments were structured. As a result, all but the very well-off curtailed their spending habits. Some of the wealthiest families, like the Kennedys, were virtually unfazed by the Stock Market Crash, and were able to continue living their lives largely as they had before the Depression. Others, like the Hellers, used independent investments to "float" for several years after the Crash, most bottoming out by the mid-1930's. Many wealthy American families found their extensive finances wiped out ove

With many of the young men off to war minorties and women picked up much of the slack. Business boomed because the US exported all of its goods to war torn countries. After the war the good economy lasted through the 20's but it all came crashing down with the great depression
