Several world-changing incidents happened in the year 1920.
IN 1920, THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS WAS FORMED.
In a speech to Congress in 1919, President Woodrow Wilson outlined the 'Fourteen Points,' a proposal to put a stop to conflict for good. Diplomats eagerly embraced the 14 Points, which established the structure for the League of Nations. It had a total of 58 participants. America was never a member of the organization.
A DE-FACTO WOMAN PRESIDENT SERVED IN AMERICA IN 1920.
President Wilson experienced an illness while campaigning for the United States to join the League of Nations, resulting in paralysis, half sight, and severe injury. Edith Wilson, the First Woman, moved in and took his position when he was unable to discharge the official duties. She was in charge of the leader's accessibility and took choices on his part.
IN 1920, THE UNITED STATES SURVIVED THEIR BIGGEST TERRORIST ATTACK.
On the main location on Wall Street, a horse-drawn carriage holding a large homemade bomb was exploded on September 16, 1920. This was the greatest extremist assault in U.S. history, surpassing the Oklahoma City Bombing in 1995 in terms of tragedy.
The 'Lost Generation'—expatriate authors who resided in Europe after World War I—became a literary power in the United States in 1920.
IN THE YEAR 1920, THE MASS MEDIA WAS BORN.
The first fully-featured radio show began streaming live national electoral results in November 1920. The delivery of big news was novel and unusual, and as knowledge of this media format circulated, the appeal of the 'talking box' surged.
