EconomicsAbout 66% of the population now lived in urban centres, the economy was heavily dependent on agricultural exports. The long economic boom which began with the gold rushes of the 1850s and which had greatly increased local manufacturing and fed speculation in the 1880s, began to collapse, beginning with Victorian property collapses and a British banking crises. The overseas investment dried up; prices for wool and wheat fell dramatically. The 1880s had seen great advances amongst trade unionism which had become sufficiently strong to express their frustrations effectively and to cause alarm amongst employers.

PoliticsThe Progressive Era, as the period in history at the turn of the 20th century has come to be known, was a time of tremendous social, economic, and political changes, and the presidential election of 1912 typified the reform spirit of the period.The Spanish-American War helped McKinley to score a decisive victory.

Environment Outsiders noted famines and disease in the 1890s, severe land degradation in the 1920s and 1930s, low productivity and poverty from the 1950s to the 1970s, fuel wood shortages and land degradation in the 1980s, and threats to wildlife and biodiversity in the 1990s. All of these phenomena, however, also reflect the encounter of agricultural and pastoral peoples with international and national forces tied to the continuing transformation of the global economy, including the widespread commercialization of agriculture and its linkage to international markets.

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.
