The 1920s, also known as the Roaring Twenties, was a decade of great economic prosperity in the United States. After World War I, the economy boomed and people had more money to spend on consumer goods and entertainment. The decade saw an explosion of jazz music and dance crazes like the Charleston. Women gained more freedom with their clothing choices, such as shorter skirts and bobbed hair styles. Automobiles became widely available for middle-class families, making travel easier than ever before. The stock market soared to new heights during this time period before crashing in 1929 at the start of the Great Depression. Despite its eventual end, the Roaring Twenties will always be remembered for its vibrant culture and economic prosperity that changed America forever.
