THE ARTS OF THE 1920S AND 1930S
BUT…
Tying up some loose ends on foreign policy and disarmament…
Kellogg-Briand Pact
An effort to outlaw all future wars The pact renounced the aggressive use
of force to achieve national ends. Permitted defensive wars No accountability
Pro-Business Foreign Diplomacy Peacefully resolved attempted Mexican
government takeover of mineral and oil resources to protect American properties
Winning of oil-drilling rights for U.S. companies in the Middle East
Paying off War Debts
Germany was bankrupt and had high inflation
Tariffs made matters worse Dawes Plan (1924)- cycle of payments
from U.S. to Germany, Germany to the Allies, Britain and France to the U.S.
After stock market crash in 1929, U.S. banks stopped loaning to Germany
The Great Migration
Relocation of 6 million African Americans from the rural South to cities in the North, Midwest and West
Poor work opportunities and discrimination prompted the migration
Around 1916, when the Great Migration began, a factory wage in the urban North was typically three times more than what blacks could expect to make working the land in the rural South.
AND NOW…
THE ARTS!
Literature
John Steinbeck F. Scott Fitzgerald Langston Hughes
As I Grew Older
It was a long time ago.I have almost
forgotten my dream.
But it was there then,In front of me,Bright like a sun--My dream.And then the wall
rose,Rose slowly,Slowly,Between me and my
dream.
Rose until it touched the sky--
The wall.Shadow.I am black.I lie down in the
shadow.No longer the light of
my dream before me,
Above me.Only the thick wall.Only the shadow.My hands!
My dark hands!Break through the
wall!Find my dream!Help me to shatter
this darkness,To smash this night,To break this shadowInto a thousand lights
of sun,Into a thousand
whirling dreamsOf sun!
