Hallo Ed,

EV> 100 years ago, the period from 1020 to 1929 was called The Roaring
EV> Twenties.

EV> The Year 2020 wasn't, was it?

At least here in Germany, the Roaring Twenties (or: The Golden Twenties,  
as they are called in Germany) start at ~1924, not at 1920.

That's because at first, World War I wasn't that long ago and recovery was  
still going on and second, the economy collapsed because of hyper- 
inflation.
Also the political system changed from monarchy to democracy, which also  
had to settle first - and was constantly in danger...

So I hope that it won't take that long in this century :)

Regards,
Anna
