1. The 1920s are commonly referred to as the Roaring Twenties. Document who was and who was not “roaring” in the 1920s. Your essay should cover more than just who was and was not thriving economically. You should discuss things such as immigration, speech, rights, farmers, race, and labor.

2. Discuss (a) the causes of World War I, and (b) the causes of the entry of the United States into World War I.

3. Identify and discuss the beliefs and arguments (regarding race) of W.E.B. Du Bois, Booker T. Washington, Woodrow Wilson and Marcus Garvey. (I’m aware that you will have the toughest time elaborating on Wilson).

4. The Great Depression came dramatically with the stock market crash, but the causes of the Depression had been planted well before 1929. Discuss what brought on the Great Depression and Hoover’s reaction to it.
