Produktbeschreibung

The Global 1920s examines the critical changes and conditions that prevailed from roughly 1919 to 1930. In the course of a single decade, Western powers went from a position of largely unprecedented prosperity and power to the deepest economic depression. This boom-and-bust cycle played out only years after the conclusion of a catastrophic world war that redrew the map for hundreds of millions of people across the world.

By considering the political, economic, social and cultural developments of the 1920s on a truly global scale, this exciting new resource for students of the interwar period asks new questions about the global connections that were so significant across the 1920s.
