American Cultural History - The Twentieth Century


1910 - 1919

Sometimes people call me an idealist.  Well that is the way I know I am an American. -



The 1910s was a decade of great change for America.  It was during this decade that the United States was first considered a world leader.  Many of the issues of 1910 are ones we face today: including the escalation of immigration and poverty, labor and monopoly battles, work safety and child labor problems.  World War I - the first 'war to end all wars' raged. The 1910s were the decade America came of age.
