## The story in brief

America enters the First World War, then enjoys jazz, cars and radio in the twenties, and women win the vote. The crash of 1929 ends the party and the Great Depression begins.

Roosevelt's New Deal changes the role of government, and then the war returns. From Pearl Harbor to D-Day and the Pacific, this course follows how a divided, weary country became the arsenal of democracy.

## Three moments to know

1. **America enters the First World War**

   After years of neutrality, the United States joins the Allies and sends the Doughboys to France.
2. **The stock market crash**

   Share prices collapse in October, and the Great Depression follows.
3. **D-Day**

   Allied forces land in Normandy on June 6, opening the road to victory in Europe.

## What you will learn

From 1917 to 1945 America went through two world wars, a boom and the worst economic crisis in its history. This course follows those three decades.

- Follow America from neutrality to the First World War and see what the Doughboys did in France.
- Enjoy the Roaring Twenties, with jazz, cars and radio and see women win the vote in 1920.
- Understand the crash of 1929, the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl and the debate over the New Deal.
- Watch America become the arsenal of democracy and enter the war after Pearl Harbor.
