    The Roaring Twenties refers to the North American historical period of the 1920s,
    which has been described as "one of the most colorful decades in American history."
    disclaimer
    Roaring Twenties: The decade encapsulates a fascinating story, beginning with the return of young soldiers from the fronts of the First World War and emergence of a new and confident face of the modern womanhood, and ending with the sad note of the Black Tuesday, harbinger of the Great Depression.

    Dance: Starting in the 1920s, ballrooms across the U.S. sponsored dance contests, 
    where dancers invented, tried, and competed with new moves.

    GALLERY THREE: The Roaring Twenties: The Twenties were the cradle
    of modern America, beginning with the 1920 census, the first ever to report a
    majority of Americans living in urban areas. Daylight Savings Time was a spin-off 
    of the war. So were jazz, Wall Street speculation, and women's suffrage.

    Charlie Chaplin, who brought laughter to millions worldwide as the silent
    "Little Tramp" clown, had the type of deprived childhood that one would expect

    Charles Spencer Chaplin was the son of a music hall singer and his wife.
