The 1920’s was a decade of prosperity, a period of innovations in America. World War I, which involved Britain, France, Italy, and the United Stated of America fighting Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Turkey, ended on November 11, 1918, when a truce was signed at Versailles in France. After the war, the United States was forced to deal with problems such as racial tension, struggling farms, and labor unrest.
The country also struggled with the spread of communism. After Russia’s revolution in 1917, the number of radicals living in the United States in 1920 rose to over one hundred thousand. Following the rising fear among American citizens, the Justice Department initiated massive raids, which resulted in ten thousand people being arrested.
