An argument can be made for both decades as having a greater impact on the development of US society. Viewing both decades in comparison to US society in 2017, it could be said that the 1920s was more impactful, in the sense that the US in 2017 looks a lot more like 1927 than 1937.
In the 1920s, the country was a war-weary nation that was in the process of turning inward, figuring out its identity following a costly war which didn't directly affect Americans. The result was the election of a questionably qualified Republican president who said that a return to normalcy, to the America of old, was what the nation needed. He pursued heavier tariffs and policies that would withdraw America from the world stage.
The nation was enjoying a soaring stock market setting all time records on a near daily basis. There was a great deal of inequality, and in the absence of a cohesive national vision/identity, people turned to false idols of status, partying, and conspicuous opulence to find meaning and fulfillment. Many illegal drugs, such as marijuana and alcohol at the time, were consumed openly and in large quantities despite their illegality.
Everything written above could be said of the United States in 2017. Let's hope that the parallels do not continue into the 9th year of the decade, when an epic stock market crash led to over a decade of economic disaster in the United States.

During World War II, Native Americans formed an intertribal group they called the National Congress of AmericanIndians (NCAI). They opposed the 1953 laws, including the relocation program, describing them as an attempt tokill off their people. The NCAI as well as other groups that formed later would seek legal means to prevent thetaking of lands and land rights. Some groups were more militant and used the phrase "Red Power" or "NativeAmerican Power."Their efforts did grab the attention of Congress, leading to laws protecting Native Americanrights in education, health care, and child custody rules. The Supreme Court decision Menominee Tribe v. UnitedStates in 1968 ruled that states could not take away Native American rights to hunt and fish on lands theyreceived through past treaty agreements.

There were two parties in China after World War 2: the Nationalists and the Communists. The Nationalists were led by Chiang Kai Shek, and the Communists were led by … Mao Ze Dong. The Communists defeated the Nationalists, and Chiang Kai Shek fled to Taiwan to set up a government there.
