As the world bid
farewell to the 1910's, it was introduced to a decade that would
be unlike any other. Separating two world wars, the 1920's followed
events such as the sinking of the Titanic (1912), the
invention of stainless steel (1913), and the completion of the
Panama Canal (1914). The Roaring Twenties would have their own
share of excitement and wonder as well - the Treaty of Versailles
ended World War I, penicillin was discovered, and the Sultan
of Swat hit 60 home runs. These events were and still are significant,
but they reflect only a small portion of the full story. Unfortunately,
this time period could not last forever. The 1930's soon led
to the beginning of World War II, a conflict that cost 6,700,000
civilian deaths in the Soviet Union alone.
"The Roaring Twenties"
presents an educational and online view of what took place during
this time period. Media-enhanced information is presented in
an easy-to-understand manner. Enjoy your visit to our site and
