Talk:1920s

message: This article does very little to make it clear that in the USA (and partially in some other countries) the 1920's was the period of maximum respectability for "modern" or "scientific" racist views, which were rather widespread -- this was the period when Eugenics really began to gather steam, when the WW1 army intelligence test results received wide publicity, when the KKK achieved broad political influence in many areas (and not only in the former Confederate states, either), and when the rather openly-racist restrictions against immigration into the US were passed into law.  See Nadir of American race relations and Franz Boas for some of this. AnonMoos 04:54, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm trying to repair Social issues of the 1920s so that it provides a more specific insight to the issues about the 1920s. I was thinking of merging it with this article, but then I realized that this article seems to be more of a general account of various events and whatnot. Should they be merged?--The ikiroid (talk)(Help Me Improve) 01:12, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't it say that automobiles became common and popular in the 1920s? Because it's true that it was when they became popular, wasn't it? 68.124.133.161, 68.124.133.161, 02:05, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Depends on what country you're talking about and how you define common and popular. Certainly they became much more widespread in this decade, but that was in part a continuation of a trend started with popular mass production of cars in the 1910s.

message: DBQ question: What made the 1920s different from any other decade? 
Document A:  “Since the 1920s was a time of celebration, there were many fads. People loved to dance, especially the Charleston, Fox-trot, and the shimmy. Dance marathons were something everyone went to every weekend. The longest dance record ever recorded was a record of 3 weeks of dancing. Another fad of the 1920's was the radio. People "tuned" in every day to listen to music, as jazz, sports and live events. A favorite for listening to jazz was "the king of jazz", Louie Armstrong. The latest fashion fad was the flapper, a fad for women. The movie was also the latest thing. The start of 3-D movies was in the 1920's. The average American had a lot to look forward to, in the 1920's, that’s for sure!” (http://www.kidsnewsroom.org/elmer/infoCentral/frameset/decade/1920.htm - Fads of the 1920s). 
Think: What does this remind you of compared to today’s decade.

message: Why is he in the opening collage of the 20's? Nobody outside the USA knew who he was regardless of his fame over there, especially as baseball is not played significantly outside the US. He should be mentioned in this article perhaps but he is nowhere near important enough to be included in the opening series of pictures.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.29.89.26 (talk) 17:07, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Babe Ruth 

message: I question the opening sentence of the article.  As the Wikipedia article "Decade" states:  "Because the common calendar starts with year 1, its first full decade is the years 1 to 10, the second decade from 11 to 20, and so on.[5] So while the "2000s" comprises the years 2000 to 2009, the "201st decade" spans 2001 to 2010."
Therefore the decade of the 1920's began on January 1, 1921 and ended on December 31, 1930.

message: "Economic problems contributed to the emergence of dictators in Eastern Europe to include Józef Piłsudski in Poland"
This is untrue. World War I, and weakness of the neighbouring countries, resulted in Poland gaining independence in 1918, after being partitioned by Russia, Prussia and Austria in 1795. This is how Piłsudski became the leader and dictator of now independent Poland. This was a fight of the nation for freedom against neighbouring monarchies, not a switch from democracy to dictatorship.
