GoConqr OriginalWhat this unit covers
The page follows the story of the USA from the boom to the Depression and recovery. The mind map The Roaring 20s asks how and why the USA achieved prosperity, pointing to industry, manufacturing, finance and entertainment. Mass Production (Henry Ford) looks at standardisation, the moving assembly line and the effect on the economy and workforce. Others cover fashion, leisure, immigration, Prohibition and the Ku Klux Klan.
Where to start
Begin with an overview map. The USA, 1919-41 splits the period into the economic boom, American society in the 1920s, the Wall Street Crash and Depression, and the First and Second New Deal. GCSE History- America 20's & 30's asks questions such as how far the USA was a divided society.
- Read an overview map to see the whole period.
- Move to a focused map such as Prohibition or Wall St Crash.
