The Great Depression was the worst economic downturn in American history. Millions of people lost their jobs, their homes, and their savings. The unemployment rate soared to 25%, and the economy was in shambles.

The government tried to help the economy recover, but it was not enough. In 1932, Herbert Hoover was defeated by Franklin D. Roosevelt in the presidential election. Roosevelt promised a "New Deal" for the American people, and he introduced a series of programs to help the economy recover.

The New Deal helped to improve the economy, but it did not solve all of the problems caused by the Great Depression. The unemployment rate remained high, and many people continued to suffer.

The Great Depression ended in 1938, but its effects were felt for many years to come. The Depression changed the way that Americans thought about the economy, and it led to the creation of new government programs to help prevent another economic collapse.

The Roaring Twenties were also a time of great social change. Women were gaining more rights, and the traditional roles of men and women were changing. The flapper lifestyle became popular, and women began to wear shorter skirts and bob their hair.

The Roaring Twenties came to an end with the stock market crash of 1929. The crash wiped out billions of dollars in wealth, and it led to the Great Depression.
