Key Events of the 1920s: From the Red Scare to the Stock Market Crash

The 1920s were marked by significant events that shaped American history. The Red Scare led to the arrest of suspected communists, while the first commercial radio broadcasts revolutionized communication. Notable figures like Hitler attempted a failed coup, and sports icons like Red Grange and Babe Ruth emerged. Landmark trials like the Scopes Monkey Trial ignited debates over evolution. The decade ended in shock with the Chicago St. Valentine’s Day Massacre and the stock market crash, signaling the beginning of the Great Depression.
