Rutgers University World War I and The Booming Economy Discussion
Question Description
During the period from 1914 to 1945, two world wars, the worst economic depression of their time, and social and cultural changes all contributed to a profoundly different United States of America. More ordinary people felt they could shape their lives through collective action. More Americans of all social classes looked to the federal government to provide protections from the ravages of capitalism. Asian, African, and Mexican Americans sought to gain more access to citizenship rights. Women won the right to vote and fought for a voice in all aspects of U.S. life. What were the most important factors in working people’s efforts to reshape the meaning of democracy? What elements held them back? How much agency did ordinary Americans have to shape their lives at midcentury?
