The interwar years, spanning from the end of World War I in 1918 to the beginning of World War II in 1939, were a period of significant change, tension, and transformation across the globe.
This era was marked by the aftermath of the devastating First World War, the rise of new political ideologies and regimes, economic upheaval, and the lead-up to another global conflict.

The years 1919-1920 were marked by widespread discontent across various parts of the world, stemming from the aftermath of World War I, economic hardships, political upheavals, and social tensions.
This period saw a series of significant events, movements, and reactions reflecting the global atmosphere of unrest.

The 1920's was a decade of dramatic economic growth, technological innovation, cultural shifts, and a sense of post-war relief and optimism.
However, this period was also marked by contradictions, including societal divisions and the seeds of future economic disaster.

The stock market crash of 1929 in the United States had global repercussions, leading to a decade-long economic depression.
Unemployment soared, production plummeted, and many banks failed. The economic hardship fueled political extremism and dissatisfaction with democratic governments.

The 1930s were a challenging and transformative decade for Canada, much like for the rest of the world, largely due to the global impact of the Great Depression.
However, Canada's experience during this period was also shaped by its unique political, economic, and social circumstances.

The 1930s were a decade of significant hardship for Canadians but also a time of considerable change and adaptation.
The responses to the challenges of the decade laid the groundwork for future social welfare policies and contributed to a stronger sense of Canadian identity and unity.

The 1930s in Europe were marked by escalating tensions that ultimately led to the outbreak of World War II in 1939.
This period was characterized by the rise of totalitarian regimes, aggressive expansionist policies, and the failure of the international community to effectively counter these developments.

The policies of appeasement towards aggressive moves by Germany, Italy, and Japan in the 1930s, under the leadership of leaders like Hitler and Mussolini, failed to prevent further conflict.
The annexation of Austria, the Munich Agreement allowing the annexation of the Sudetenland, the invasion of Poland by Germany, and aggressive actions by Japan in China and elsewhere, all contributed to the outbreak of World War II in 1939.
