Presentation transcript:

Politics of the 1920’s

Warren G. Harding Elected on promise to “return to normalcy” Read: isolationist Filled cabinet with friends Good: Hughes, Mellon, Hoover Bad: Fall and Daugherty Harding traits: Mediocre mind Blind to corruption Hated to hurt people Bad manager

GOP in Charge Pushed back against Progressive achievements Return to laissez-faire Packed Supreme Court with pro-biz judges to help biz profits Women lose “special privileges” in work

After the War Railroads returned to private companies Gov’t encourages consolidation ICC promises profitability Labor loses gov’t support without wartime needs Veterans demand financial benefits Congress pledges upfront insurance policy to be paid in 20 years

Foreign Relations Ends war with Germany in July 1921 Isolationism is America’s ultimate goal but not totally doable Middle East: Oil played HUGE role in WWI, likely to be equally important in future wars Sec. Hughes secure rights of US oil companies in mid east Disarmament America ready to stop spending so much on navy

Treaties to Disarm Countries will limit the size of their navies USA & UK have largest quotas; Japan very small Japan offended; US and UK agree to not fortify Far East holdings but Japan can Kellogg-Briand Pact Outlaws wars but permits “defensive wars”
