Question 2 . During the Republican era (1921 to 1933 ) economic political and foreign policy was not successful at all

False , the moving assembly line that Henry Ford developed in 1913 for manufacture of the Model T marked only the first step toward full mass production and the beginning of America 's worldwide industrial supremacy . The first Industrial Revolution in the late nineteenth century had catapulted the United States into the forefront of the worlds ' richest and most highly developed nations . With the coming of the new consumer goods industries , the American people

by the 1920 's enjoyed the highest standard of living of any nation on earth . After a brief postwar depression , 1922 saw the beginning of a great boom that peaked in 1927 and lasted until 1929 . In this brief period , Americans industrial output nearly doubled and the gross national product rose by 40 percent . Most of this explosive growth took place in industries producing goods for consumers , automobiles , appliances , furniture and clothing .

Just as nineteenth century culture had revolved around the farm ant the railroad , so the automobile and the city became the central features of modern America Yet despite the very real economic progress achieved in the 20 's the decade did end in a depression that lasted all through the 30 's . Only after WWII would the American people enjoy an abundance and prosperity rooted in the industrial transformation that began in the 1920 's . The danger signs were there of unequal distribution of wealth , the saturation of the market for consumer goods , and the growing speculation all created economic instability . The boom of the twenties would end in a great crash yet the achievements...
