Timeline: 1914-1946 Page 704-705 When did the United States enter World War 1? What does this date of entry suggest about feelings in the United States toward the war? Name a feat of flying that occurred in the period 1925-1930. What does this event indicate about the development of technology? What is the time span between the end of World War 1 and the beginning of World War II? Judging by this timeline, how would you characterize the ten years leading up to World War II?

When did World War II break out in Europe When did World War II break out in Europe? When did the United States enter the war? What connection can you make between the date the United States entered WW II and its behavior in World War 1? For how many terms was President Roosevelt elected? Judging by events on this timeline, what might account for this success? What does the illustration for the stock market crash of 1929 suggest about the state of the nation? 7. What mood does Salvador Dali’s painting convey?

Name the event that, in 1929, started the economic downturn known as the Depression. What caused the United States to enter World War II?

Critical Thinking In what way could you support the assertion that, between 1914 and 1939, the mood of Americans alternated between optimism and pessimism? Judging by what you know about the 1920s, what do you think F. Scott Fitzgerald’s stories and novels are like? Do the historical events suggest that 1914-1946 would be a time of experimentation in literature? Why or why not?

Literature of the Period Pages 708-713 What purpose was shared by Modernist writers? Name three qualities favored by Imagist poets. What prompted writers to leave the United States and become expatriates? Which two writers are the best known of the expatriates?
