The term "Roaring '20s" refers to the decade of the 1920s in the United States, which was a time of much economic growth, as well as much social and cultural change.

In the 1920s, cities grew rapidly and industry was growing immensely in the United States. Jazz and other forms of entertainiment (like radio) were expanding and reaching new audiences. Women were becoming more involved in public life. The stock market was a place of much speculation and investment -- too much, as it turned out. The stock market crashed in 1929. America had thought it was in great times during the Roaring '20s. But then everything came crashing down and minds and hearts were depressed, as the country entered into the next decade and an economic tragedy known as the Great Depression.

1. Why did the US become involved in the Panama Canal?

Vilka [71]

The United States wanted a method of export and transportation to and from the United States originally when Panama was a part of Colombia. This is why they helped Panama's revolution to become its own independent country. If they had good relations and Panama went as planned, the US could finally build the canal they wanted so badly. The canal now allows transportation of many of the goods we purchase and use today here in the United States.
