Two world wars tore the heart out of the twentieth century. Between these two tragedies was an age that nostalgia views enthusiastically – a time of jazz, prohibition, the talkies, radio and the motor car. A time that was in reality an age of anxiety. Twenty years of peace that produced war. A peace that failed. Impossible Peace.
01After the horrific carnage of World War I, a new age of prosperity was expected, but it wouldn’t be that simple. Societies needed years to recover.
02Following World War I, treaties were designed to punish the aggressors. But the balance of power was tilted too drastically in favor of the victors.
03After the war, cars and other technological advances were as influential as exchange rates and floundering economies in the new world order.
04As 1929 dawned on Paris, it seemed the party would go on forever. And few saw that the masses were hiding from a looming and devastating future.
05In the 1920s, there seemed to be good candidates for leadership in Europe, but where were they when the Great Depression descended?
06As the Depression’s effect on the US became clear, Japanese business interests set their focus on East Asia, where the empire was expanding.
07Would early action have stopped Hitler’s aggression? No one knows, but inaction certainly didn’t work. Why did the great powers decline to act?
08Some believed appeasement of Hitler would preserve the peace. They either didn’t see, or ignored, the Nazi leader’s obvious territorial ambitions.
