why did the 1920's roar?

The Roaring Twentys was like a big party with loud jazz music, and rum running. Everyone was spending except the farmers.

The Treaty of Versailles imposed huge reparations payments on Germany for the damage that was done to France during WW1. The payment of this debt, at the expense of the German standard of living, and the ensuing hyperinflation played a large role in the rise of the National Socialist party.

Not too good truth be told.\n\nAfter World War One the rest of the world really screwed germany. They made all kinds of outragous claims on German lands and money. The economy was in the crapper and the politics of the day were doing nothing to change the situation. \n\nThere were millions with out work and inflation was sometimes 700% a day. Money had no real meaning and the masses were living under the boot of the Allies.\n\nThen in 1932 all hell broke loose.\n\nWhen the Nazi party came into power the first things they did was tell the allies to kiss off. They rebuilt their army and restored a national pride. These things helped feed the people and get the country back up on it's feet. \n\nI have been told that you would not worry about the politcs of the man who feeds you when you are starving. And the Nazi rule in Germany showed this.\n\nWhen you are full, happy and have your pride you can do much. And they did. But as history shows things got WAY out of hand and the now proud people were lead to a very scary place by some very scary people.\n\nTaking Cezch was easy and the invasion of poland wasn't that hard. But what was to come was a real wake up call for the world.\n\nSo the 1930's was a great time of change in Germany. In those 10 years germany would go from a beaten nation steped on and looted by the world to a superpower that almost took over europe.

Religous music changed A LOT over this period.  Maybe you could focus on the way the music has changed and tie it to the political and cutural facts.

In an effort to build infrastructure, Germany spent a mint to create the high speed roadway; later named a freeway, or expresway.  The trickle down monies spent on labor and concrete fueled a descimated economy, and cause an industrial boom that would have been the greatest ever known by civilized man.  However, within 8 years of the completion of the Autobon, allied powers bombed all stratigic crossings and long straights.  The loss of the roadways had a demoralizing effect on the country.  \n\nFifteen men died breaking speed records on the autobon, before their destruction durring the war.  These men are still today considered heros for breaking, and re-breaking the land speed record.

You've got a ton of stuff happening during the first half of the century.  Everything involving both world wars, the first flight, the Bolshevik Revolution, the San Fransisco Earthquake, the stock market crash, the depression on both sides of the Atlantic, lots of stuff.\n\nWhat are you interested in?  It helps a lot if the subject is interesting to you.  Do you want something military, cultural, political, technological, scientific?

Germany had been brought to its knees economically and militarily at the end of WWI with the signing in the Treaty of Versailles. Hitler was an outstanding orator, and because of the state of the country at that time and because he promised to restore Germany to world prominence economically and militarily, the German people believed him. He played upon the their worst instincts as he worked to create a superior race. He gave the Germans back their pride and national spirit. He came along at the right time when the country and its people desperately needed a strong leader. He filled that void for them. Unfortunately, he was insane!!

I would check out the first link for a time line of events during the 1920's.  Then maybe search http://www.wikipedia.com for information about each event.\n\nThe British Empire started a long time before 1920, so you might need to start at the beginning to find out why they started out to conquer the world.\n\nCheck out the second link too.  It might help.

It sounds like something that came out of the 20's, when the government was starting to control big business.

Having lived through the 60's & 70's I think the answer is yes.  Why?... I don't really know.  Maybe it can be summed up on a bumper sticker I saw the other day:  "If you are not OUTRAGED, you're not PAYING ATTENTION!"\n\nNow, having asked this, answered this, & read this, let's all get up and do something positive to make a difference!\n\nMany Blessings on your efforts....
