Historical Events That Changed the World Between World War I and World War II, America experienced political, economic, and social events that would forever change the face of the nation. The various eras: World War I, the Roaring Twenties, the Great Depression and the New Deal, and World War II each had separate issues that caused changes in relation to class, gender, domestic and international affairs. Although many of these events had an effect only temporarily, others still show a strong influence today. Movements like women's suffrage, events like the dropping of the atomic bomb, and social eras like the Harlem Renaissance still play an important role in the lives of Americans today. The First World War laid the foundations for the political and economic crisis that would soon erupt. follow. Even before the end of the war, the Allies demanded reparations from Germany, whose economy had been destroyed. Wilson, after meeting with the Big Four, slowly began to accept the idea of ​​reparations. Once implemented, American banks now began to profit greatly from lending to both Germany and the allies: Germany who had to pay reparations and repair the country's infrastructure, France whose infrastructure was destroyed, and Britain, who had to repay America for all the ammunition and weapons they had bought.

It was a time of chaos. Once Wilson was out of office and Harding elected, however, things began to change: The 19th Amendment ratified in 1920 marked the end of 100 years or... half the document... morning of On August 6, 1945, Hiroshima was bombed, resulting in over 80,000 casualties, and Nagasaki was bombed 3 days later, resulting in over 100,000 casualties. September 2, 1945 was the date of the Japanese surrender. Fourteen million soldiers and over 35 million civilians died in this devastating war. The era between World War I and World War II significantly changed the face of America. From the traditional world of religion, passive capitalism, modesty and white male supremacy, a new world emerged: where evolution was taught, radio and movies became the main source of entertainment, where black people were treated more like equal and less like scum. , where women received the right to vote and job benefits, where California became the economic powerhouse. This era set the economic and social values ​​we live in today, as well as many political issues that have recently ended (Cold War) or issues that are still ongoing today, for example the Mexican illegal immigrant workforce.
