The Roaring Twenties The Economy

The economy was great in the 20s.Everybody had jobs, money and the stock market was doing great.New houses were being built and we all had nice houses and new furniture like laundry machines.New things were bring invented to help us out around the house.Factories were building tons of products because they made so much money.

The Roaring Twenties Entertainment

in the 1920s for entertainment they would dance the charleston with jazz music accompanying them.these years were known as the jazz years.Jazz was very popular in the 20s.

World War One What Children Did

Children did quite a bit during this war time.My 13 year old child snuck out of the house to go join the military.I cant believe the little kids that lived in my heighborhood went to sneak into the military to help us and die with us.So many children died because they snuck out of school,home just to join the military and would lie about their age just to help us out to win the war against our enemies.I do not understand why they would leave their simple lives to come fight and mos likely die at such a young age.It makes me happy to see how much kids care,but it hurts to see them die.Some of the children were very brave for being so young.Without them we neverwould of won.

World War One What Women Did

My wife was a big hand in the first world war.Her and her friends took up many male jobs for us, for example:they made us some ammunition and weapons so we could fight, they worked at the hospitals, they stayed at home and watched the kids, and many more things they did for us like worked as bank tellers,they got hired in gouverment departments,they drove the buses and conducted the trains,they unloaded coal and built ships,tanks,troop carriers,planes,they made hampers and socks for us.I was very surprised at all the things women did for us during that period.Finally during 1918 when world war 1 ended we came back and let the women take more jobs then they used to be because they helped us very much.They did great jobs on making our clothes and vehicles,they were great!Thanks to all the women who helped us during world war 1.

World War One Soldiers In The Trenches

The trenches were horrible during WWI I absolutely hated them.Most of my allies havesuffered from trenchfoot, if not that they got shot a couple of times.I had gotten proper boots so i did not get trench foot luckily.I wish i was back in Canada at the time where i didnt have to sleep under bombs and gunfire,almost every night someone would come in bleeding from being shot and drop dead on the groundwhile i was sleeping.Trench raids were probably the worst of it because as soon as youpopped your head out there was a big chance of you being shot from enemies.The machineguns did not help us succeed in the raids especialy when they were hidden underground.The trenches really sucked!The trench knives were evil if an enemy got you unguarded he would likely stab you and wait till you died.The shovel wasnt as painful because you didnt live very long taking a shovel to the head.Thank god the Germans dont listen so they failed with the Shlieffen plan so they went into France to early and started a trench war.
