Dean of Academic Affairs
Dr. Hartnell’s “Ka-Boom to Bust” Unit picks up in 1914 on
the eve of the First World War. America had done quite well
for itself in the decades leading up to World War I. Thanks
to numerous imperialistic endeavors in Asia, the Pacific,
and Latin America, the U.S. earned a coveted seat at the
“grownup” table. The Second Industrial Revolution
transformed the once agrarian nation into an industrial
powerhouse – and President Teddy Roosevelt was quick to
flash America’s strength worldwide with the Great White
Fleet and his “Big Stick” policy. But, when the world’s
finest dropped their gloves and started slugging it out in
the trenches and mud of Europe, America was faced with its
first legitimate international crisis. Defeating Spain in
1898 was small potatoes compared to the daunting task of
gearing up for war with Germany and Austria-Hungary.
America’s success in the Great War, however, sent the
nation on a rollercoaster ride for the next two decades.
Enthusiastic patriotism following the war resulted in a
happy-go-lucky and spendthrift mentality that inevitably
saw the bottom drop out with the Stock Market Crash in
1929. Suddenly, the flappers and gangsters of the “Roaring
Twenties” were out of work and living on the streets.
America had the rug pulled out from under its feet, and, it
seemed, the good times had forever come to an end.
