Entertainment - Radio Stations
The idea of radio as entertainment took off in 1920, with the opening of the first radio stations established specifically for broadcast to the public such as KDKA in Pittsburgh and WWJ in Detroit. I think it still affects people today because a lot of people listen to radio even today. -
Important people - Al Capone
Born in 1899 in Brooklyn, New York, to poor immigrant parents, Al Capone went on to become the most infamous gangster in American history. In 1920 during the height of Prohibition, Capone's multi-million dollar Chicago operation in bootlegging, prostitution and gambling dominated the organized crime scene.I think it led to other important events because when alcohol was prohibited Al Capone sold alcohol and made millions of dollars. -
Inventions - Ford model T
The Ford Model T It is generally regarded as the first affordable automobile, the car that opened travel to the common middle-class American; some of this was because of Ford's efficient fabrication, including assembly line production instead of individual hand crafting. it was produced by Ford Motor Company from October 1, 1908, to May 26, 1927. I think it still effects people these days because from that time more company's started to make cars more affordable so we use cars even this days. -
Important Events - Stock Market Colapse
The stock market crash of 1929 was not the sole cause of the Great Depression, but it did act to accelerate the global economic collapse of which it was also a symptom. By 1933, nearly half of America's banks had failed, and unemployment was approaching 15 million people, or 30 percent of the workforce.May 10, 2010.I think this event Affected all the people who bought and had stocks during this time. They lost all of their money some of them were even in debt
