On today’s episode, called “Suffering” we look at the contrasting treatment of African Americans during a time of overall prosperity and success for many Americans.

On today’s episode, called “Suffrage” we examine the fight women had for the right to vote and how that snowballed into other social changes during the 1920s.

On today’s episode, called “Big Boom Theory” we look how the US economy grew substantially following World War I.

On today’s episode, called “Rip Roaring Depression” we see that following the end of World War I, many soldiers came home to a different country. Events like fear of our own Russian Revolution, Race Riots, Women’s Suffrage, ban of alcohol, and more changed the social and political structure. Economically though, the US was in a great position for most of the 1920s. The 1930s though, that was a different story. Let’s get started…

On today’s episode, called “O What a Tangled War We Weave” we see how our intervening in global affairs and our so-called neutrality forced the US to no longer be spectators but shell-shocked participants of World War I. We will look at whether or not, our entering this mostly European conflict was justified and identify the push pull factors that caused us to act. Lastly, we will summarize the long and short-term effects WWI had. This may be a bit longer than normal, so sit up, take notes, and learn something. Let’s get started!

On today’s episode, called “Coming Out of Our Shell”, we examine motivations for the shift in foreign policy from isolationism to imperialism, from isolationists to interventionists. We will also explain what specifically to analyze when examining an historical document.
