Interwar Social Change

Objectives Analyze how Western society changed after World War I. Explain how some people reacted against new ideas and freedoms. Describe the literary and artistic trends that emerged in the 1920s. List several new developments in modern scientific thought.

speakeasies – illegal bars where alcohol was served during Prohibition Terms and Places flapper – young woman who rejected the moral values of the Victorian era in favor of new, exciting freedoms Prohibition – a ban on the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages in the United States speakeasies – illegal bars where alcohol was served during Prohibition Harlem Renaissance – African American cultural awakening 3

Terms and Places (continued) psychoanalysis – a method of studying how the mind works and treating mental disorders abstract – a form of art composed of lines, colors, and shapes, sometimes with no recognizable subject dada – artistic movement that rejected all traditional conventions surrealism – an art movement that attempted to portray the workings of the unconscious mind

What changes did Western society and culture experience after World War I? Society and culture were shaken by the experience of the war. This reaction occurred in Europe, the United States, and many other parts of the world. In science, discoveries changed what people understood. These shifts were mirrored in music, literature, and the fine arts. The world had changed, and the culture that existed before World War I no longer seemed to fit this new world. 5

These advances helped create a mass culture. During the 1920s, new technologies changed the way people lived in the world. Affordable cars Improved telephones Motion pictures Radio Labor-saving devices such as washing machines and vacuum cleaners These included: These advances helped create a mass culture. 6

Jazz emerged in the United States in the 1920s. This new form of music combined Western harmonies with African rhythms. Nightclubs and the sounds of jazz became symbols of freedom. Jazz attracted young people who rejected Victorian values. The 1920s became known as the Jazz Age.

Women enjoyed new opportunities. As a result of their war work, women in many Western nations won the right to vote. More woman worked outside the home and more careers opened up for women. Labor-saving devices gave women more leisure time. Flappers, who embraced jazz and new freedoms, became a symbol of rebellion against Victorian values. French flappers model the new shorter skirts.

Some people reacted against new freedoms and ideas. Many Americans favored Prohibition. A constitutional amendment in 1919 banned alcohol. Under Prohibition, organized crime and speakeasies flourished. The amendment was repealed in 1933. A rising Christian fundamentalist movement supported traditional values and ideas about the Bible. John T. Scopes was convicted of breaking a Tennessee law that banned teaching Darwin’s theories about evolution. 9

Postwar literature had a different focus than Victorian writings. Wartime experiences led some authors to portray the modern world as spiritually barren. Writers such as Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald were dubbed the “lost generation.” Writers such as James Joyce and Virginia Woolf experimented with “stream of consciousness,” portraying the workings of the inner mind without imposing logic or order. African American writers of the Harlem Renaissance expressed pride in their unique culture. 10

New artistic movements rejected realistic representation of the world. Abstract art focused on lines and colors rather than recognizable subjects. Dadaism sought to upset traditional conventions by using shocking images. Surrealism attempted to portray the inner workings of the mind. An abstract painting by Russian artist Vasily Kandinsky 11

Scientific discoveries changed the world and challenged some long-held ideas. Marie Curie, Albert Einstein, and Enrico Fermi increased understanding of the atom. Their work would later lead to the development of atomic energy and nuclear weapons. Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin, the first antibiotic, which is used to combat many diseases. Austrian psychologist Sigmund Freud introduced new theories about the unconscious mind. His use of psychoanalysis changed perceptions of the mind. 12

The trauma of World War I propelled many people to change the way they thought and acted during the turbulent 1920s. Science, medicine, politics, art, music, and architecture drove this evolution. At the end of the 1920s, the “lost generation” would face a new crisis in the form of a worldwide economic depression.
