Question

What is meant by the line "the roaring twenties"was put to a halt because of the great depression?

Answer 1

In the United States the 1920s, owing to the exuberant, freewheeling popular culture of the decade, was referred to as "roaring."

• The Roaring Twenties was a period of economic and cultural change in the United States, including other highly industrialized Western hemisphere nations.
• This time was characterized by continued financial and economic growth, and a cultural upswing.
• The Roaring Twenties was a time when many people were defying Prohibition, indulging in modern dance and clothing trends and ignoring many of the conventional moral standards.
• However, the phase was cut short by the Wall Street Crash of 1929 which preceded the 12-year Great Depression.
