What to Focus On

  • Wilson’s political decline followed the Paris Peace Conference and failure on the League of Nations.
  • Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover were Republican Presidents from 1921 to 1933.
  • The Republican approach was conservative and supported limited government action.

  • The 1920s brought a great boom in American economy.
  • The United States became the banker and financier of the world.
  • New consumer goods and technologies changed everyday life.

  • The Wall Street Crash of 1929 marked the end of the boom.
  • Over production is the Marxian explanation of the crash.
  • Speculation, shrinking foreign demand, weapon-industry decline, and unequal wealth are liberal historians’ explanations.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The Great Depression was caused only by the Wall Street Crash of 1929.

Overproduction and the liberal historians' causes are the same explanation.

The Republican Presidents after Wilson followed active state intervention to solve problems.
