The propaganda from the Committee on Public Information convinced Americans to support entering World War 1 by portraying the war in pro-Allied terms and depicting Germany negatively. The war economically benefited the US but also led to social changes like women working more and restrictions on civil liberties. In Europe, the war ended with the Treaty of Versailles which imposed penalties on Germany but failed to achieve a lasting peace due to its harsh terms.12.2

The New Deal faced criticism from those who believed it turned the US into a socialist country. Huey Long opposed the New Deal and pushed a "Share the Wealth" program before being assassinated. The Second New Deal included the WPA, which employed millions on public works projects, and the Social Security Act. Roosevelt also sought to pack the Supreme Court with justices more favorable to the New Deal after several programs were ruled unconstitutional.

Demobilization after WWI led to job losses for veterans and women workers as businesses cut production. Americans moved to cities seeking jobs, bringing rural and urban cultural divides to the forefront. Religious fundamentalism grew partly in response to perceived threats from Darwinian evolution and modern biblical criticism. The Scopes "Monkey Trial" further polarized these cultural issues. Prohibition began amid concerns over alcohol's social effects but ultimately failed due to widespread disregard and rise of organized crime.20s return to normalcy upload
