Yes it was. It's been referred to as "the roarin' 20s". Lot's of good times and such, then the Great Depression hit. That happened in the 30's, not the 20's. United States didn't pull out of it til World War II. That was the early 40s. Then when the soldiers came home, the baby boom started.

yes...definately. there is a reason why they call it the roaring twenties and the golden twenties. everything was booming till the stock market crashed in 1929. below are some links with more information. but yes, the 1920s were a time of economic prosperity in the US.

The early 20's were actually a recession. The later 20's saw a better economy, but the "roaring twenties" we hear about had to do with a high-flying speculative stock market and a new cultural shift to living "fast". (at least in the big cities.)

It was for most of the decade. The stock market crashed in 1929 and ushered in the great depression.
