It banned the manufacture, transportation and sale of intoxicating liquors.. The result of the “dry”movement during the first decade of the 20th century, because of alcoholism and family violence. The increase of the illegal production and sale of liquor (known as “bootlegging”), the proliferation of speakeasies (illegal drinking spots) and the accompanying rise in gang violence and other crimes led to the end of the Prohibition in 1933.

Flappers were a generation of young women in the 1920s who wore short skirts, bobbed their hair, listened to jazz, and flaunted their disdain for what was then considered acceptable behavior. Flappers were seen as brash for wearing excessive makeup, drinking, treating sex in a casual manner, smoking and driving automobiles.

But for the first time, Women showed their bodies, and expressed their opinion. They are the symbol of the start of more freedom for women.

The roaring ‘20s were a period of great change for America and Western Europe. Dominated by a rebellious thought of the influential avant-garde movements, it was an era of innovation in visual art and all creative fields. Following this new breath of air, 1920s architecture was dominated by the use of new technologies, building techniques, and construction materials. The era saw a boom in the building industry. Styles of this period were eclectic, taking elements of modern design and classical design to form new and interesting facades, breaking from the traditions that dominated the field before World War I

The rise of the industry led to the rise of the skyscraper. Until the 19th century, buildings of over six stories were rare. The development of steel, reinforced concrete, elevators and water pumps have made possible the construction of extremely tall buildings, some of which are well over 300 meters. The first skyscrapers in Chicago and New York had been designed in a neo-gothic or neoclassical style, but 1920s buildings combined modern materials and technology, such as stainless steel, concrete, aluminum, and chrome-plated steel, with Art Deco geometry. They were designed to show the prestige of their builders through their height, their shape, their color, and their dramatic illumination at night. Skyscrapers constructed in Chicago and New York during this period became the tallest and most recognizable modern buildings today.

The Manhattan skyline is a great example, showing how the development of the industry and technology led to bigger, stronger, more impressive buildings. In New York, the rise of the skyscraper led to a competition for the highest building. One of the best-known skyscrapers today, The Empire State building’s construction was hurried to completion in order to take the title of “the world’s tallest building” from the Chrysler Building. Other iconic New York City buildings created in this period are The Paramount Building from 1927, Bank of Manhattan Trust Building from 1929, now known as the Trump Tower, and City Bank-Farmers Trust Building from 1930

The roaring 20’s were a big time in history and a lot of really interesting changes came about thanks to the inventions of the time.Advances in technology led to the age of electricity and many homes in America, especially in the industrialized cities, were powered by electricity. Access to electricity in the 1920's provided Americans with the power required to run new labor-saving devices such as refrigerators, washing machines, radios, phonographs, electric razors and irons,  and vacuum cleaners. The 1920's was also a time of prosperity for many Americans and there was access to easy credit which made it possible for people to take advantage of the Inventions in the 1920's. There are many inventions that totally changed how we live like the first traffic lights invented by Gareth morgans. But also Penicillin and insulin, leading to antibiotics.
