==That Sucked, Let's Party (1918–1929)==
'''What Happened:''' People got crazy and drunk. Prohibition was almost entirely in this era (1920-1933), which [[FAIL|didn't stop anybody]]. Cinema transitions from silent films to the age of classic Hollywood. Mass Production of Automobiles marks this era as the first where cars are ubiquitous. In 1923 some guy with a mustache tries to take over Germany, and gets tossed in jail for a year where he writes his best selling book. 
*'''Themes to Use:''' Film Noir. Gritty Detective stories. Debauched high society excess. That Sucked, Let's Party is an age of extremes, from Jazz clubs filled with optimistic hedonists, to being the classic setting for [[Lovecraft|Lovecraftian horror stories]]. Foreshadowing the depression and rise of the Nazis just around the corner is practically required if your story doesn't intend to be 100% optimistic.
*'''Notable Works Set In This Period:''' Great Gatsby (Movie or book), The Princess and the Frog (Disney), Chicago (Broadway Musical, or Movie), [[Call of Cthulhu|The Call of Cthulhu]] (and a shitload of other Lovecraft stories), also the typical time period of interest for [[Spirit of the Century]].
