Summary

American history has many twists and turns. Are you ready to take the journey?

Starting during the renowned 1920s, we’re going to look at what life in the United States was like back then and even find some remarkable mirror images that are a reflection of what life is like during this day and age. We’ll look at the importance of alcohol and at how much one decade could be the driving force for the next. We’ll take a look at how small inventions made a big difference in America and the idea of whether a nation should use its power to look after itself or make a mark internationally.

Discover some of America’s most popular presidents and those who were quite despised. See what made a leader influential in the past, and reflect on whether that has changed nowadays.

If you’re interested in discovering how government policy changes or wars affected people, social groups, and the world in more ways than one, this is the book for you. We will even cover events that are more recent, delving into the reasons why airport security has changed and why, even to this day, many Americans worry about communism.

Here are a few topics that the book covers:

What was life like after WWI and WWII?

How did war change individuals and the world around them?

How did a worldwide recession start, and who truly got the blame for starting it?

Why were there so many protests in the 1960s, and did it change anything?

How many times was WWIII prevented from happening?

Have relations between America and Russia improved at all?
