Jazz Age

Jazz Age

The last quarter of the nineteenth century brought a slow but perceptible change

in American foreign policy. Discuss how that change developed down through the end

of the Spanish-American War. Then trace the development of American foreign policy

though the administrations of Roosevelt, Taft, and Wilson (to 1917). What

assumptions and objectives lay behind their decisions? How did their foreign

policies differ in focus? World War I, or the Great War, was the opening phase of

what historians increasingly refer to as the Second Thirty-Years War. It was a

great watershed in American foreign policy – the first time that American soldiers

were sent in massive numbers to fight on another continent. Discuss American

participation in the war – the path of entry, the struggle on the western front,

and the effect of the conflict on the home front. Then discuss the basis of Wilson

‘s peace plan and the ultimate result. In the final analysis, how did the Great

War reshape American life?

The Roaring Twenties began with a severe reaction to the war and the ardent

progressivism of the Wilson years. What programs, policies, and commitments marked

the domestic and foreign policies of the Harding and Coolidge administrations? In

your analysis, discuss to what extent the policies of these two administrations

were a reaction to progressivism.

Perhaps its most famous aspects of the Jazz Age were the emphasis on business and

the new consumerism – notably the love affair with the automobile – coupled with

the remarkable “new” social developments that altered American life in many ways.

Discuss these sensational changes. In the final analysis, to what degree did the

Jazz Age change the social contours of American life?
