By this year, Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) was elected and had one purpose of pulling the country out of collapse. The three main goals to accomplish was to be receive relief, gain recovery, and reform the country’s economy. Most of the nation was in desperate need of relief because many were negatively impacted by the Great Depression. What our country needed was to recover economically by ending the depression. Remaking America was an example of how our country needed to be reformed.
The 1920s also known as the “Roaring Twenties” is best remembered by a time period of change and rebirth throughout America. Before World War 1, the 1800s had been a time period of disagreements and conflicts, but also an industrialisation period of prosperity and growth. Towards the late 1800s the economy grew, wages and production rapidly increased. The opportunities that were available in America caused many to cross the seas in search for jobs and political and religious freedom. From 1861 to 1865 the United States was destroyed by the bloody Civil War which led to more than 600,000 deaths.

During the 1900s a “Great Depression” hit America and not only America but countries worldwide. The depression took place as late as the roaring twenties. The great depression was an economic decline caused by the stock market that affected America’s government and especially its citizens. At the time, president Herbert Hoover believed that the economy could recover on its own and had no interest in involving the the federal government with the crisis. In sum, many Americans and migrant workers suffered immense poverty.
For example, Germany was at the lowest at the start of the 1920’s. Due to Germany losing in World War I (1914-1918), the German nation had to pay for War Reparations to the victors of the war. In the years after, Germany faced a crisis of inflation and hyperinflation under the Weimar Republic, which in turn led the German people to live in poverty. As poverty spread throughout Germany, middle-class Germans and the working class began to see their monthly wages become worthless and entire savings vanishing. By 1924 and 1929, the Great Depression increased Germany’s unemployment rate by the millions overnight similar to the United States at the time.
The Gilded age was a period in the late 1800s (1865-1900) that showed tremendous increase of wealth caused by the industrial age. The lifestyle of the rich during this period hid the many problems of the time that eventually brought about the progressive era movement. This was a movement for reform between 1900-1920s. Progressives typically held that the irresponsible actions of the rich were corrupting both public and private life. Forces such as immigration, the Populist Party and industrialization that led to the progressive era also impacted the American government both in its activeness and its democracy.
The Great Depression had a devastating effect in many people’s lives, primarily Germans. It led to the rise of Hitler and fueled the rise of the extremist political movement in many European countries. I think that the Great Depression was a very significant event that led to many other important events that had happened during the 19th century. I also think that the Great Depression is what triggered Hitler to come into power and later on in history the World War two. During 1929-1939 despite Germany’s rapid growth, the German economy wasn’t strong enough to take on the Great Depression.
America just got out of The First World War and The Great Depression. We had lost many troops and we were recovering from the hard times of The Great Depression. Most Americans had no desire to join the war. Before the attack on Pearl Harbor, we helped in the war by providing arms to our allies and neutral countries. One of the main reasons that America finally joined the war is because of Japan and their attack on Pearl Harbor, after America was thrust into WWII everyday life changed all across the country.
Discussion Paper #1.2, “Did the New Deal Prolong the Great Depression” Burton W. Folsom Jr. argues that Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal stretched out the length of the Great Depression due to the funds it filtered towards special interest groups in a spiral of spending and improper utilization of excise taxes. He writes that the U.S hike in excise taxes was a poor choice. Even more, since the funds filtered towards certain special interest groups disappeared after the first New Deal ended, it left many unemployed and vulnerable again. As a matter of fact, Folsom notes that Roosevelt is rated as one of the greatest presidents, yet his New Deal did far from great things to the American people.
The National Football League has been around since the year 1920, growing from “14 member teams in 1920 to the current 32 teams today.” Depending on the contract with their current NFL team, the total contract of a player worth can be a huge some of money; we are talking tens of millions of dollars. Some would say these players deserve these seven or eight figure contracts, as they entertain millions around the world, and are part of the big business we call the NFL. Others would argue that they are paid too much money to do a sport that some High School students have to pay to play.
