The 1920s are often referred to as the Roaring 20s due to the sense of excitement and prosperity that characterized the decade. This period saw a boom in industrialization and urbanization, leading to a rise in consumerism and an increase in the standard of living for many Americans. The economy was fueled by technological advancements in areas such as automobiles, radios, and telephones, which transformed the lives of people during that time. Additionally, the end of World War I in 1918 brought about a shift in the societal dynamics with returning soldiers embracing a new sense of freedom and rebellion against traditional norms. The combination of economic prosperity, technological innovations, and changing social attitudes gave rise to the nickname "Roaring 20s" and defined the spirit of the decade.
