1910s (to me):

1. World War I
2. Ford Model T
3. The Titanic sinking in 1912
4. The fancy fashion.
5. Woodrow Wilson as US President of most of the 1910s.
6. The Spanish flu
7. Mexican Revolution
8. Russian Revolution of 1917
9. Prohibition starts in 1919.

Sorry if I annoyed you changing the thread topic, I just felt a bit stupid when I asked that question and then realised it was already a well known fact.

No, I'm not annoyed by the topic change (and I didn't think that you were stupid for asking it).

BTW, you didn't answer my question....are you a fan of Ronald Reagan?

Yeah.

Einstein published his paper on General Relativity and the Photoelectric effect.

9. Prohibition starts in 1919.

It didn't go into effect until the very beginning of the 1920s.

It didn't go into effect until the very beginning of the 1920s.

Yeah but the 18th Amendment was ratified in 1919 and Prohibition was the culmination of years of cultural pressuring from certain groups in the 1910s. However, I get your point.

Einstein published his paper on General Relativity and the Photoelectric effect.


Too much information,.....going to explode!!!

I saw a picture from roughly 1918, and there were already cars in the New York street.

Cars started to become more common after 1908 when the Ford Model T came out, which is largely considered the first affordable car. Ford also increased the wages of their employees to $5/day, so they could afford the cars and show it off to their friends.

Makes sense. It probably took roughly 5 to 10 years, for cars to be um, prominent?? on the streets. And by 1925, I guess horse carriages were a thing of the past. Probably an overlap!!

I'll post just one thing about the 19 00's. Then I'll be back on topic.

Here's a picture of New York in 1907.

Looking back over the years it does show how much has changed. Back then television had not yet be invented.

Photos from back then look incredibly creepy

This was exactly 100 years before Snapchat, can you imagine?

At least they dressed appropriately for their occasion wherever they were going.

I imagine this to be a Sunday afternoon walk.

Nothing honestly other than that it was 100 years ago and WW1 and the Russian Revolution of 1917 happened.

I wouldn't have liked to have lived then.

Same segregation and lynchings were still prominent in that decade the only reason why i don't want to live back then since i'm black.

I don't think so. ???

personally if I had to choose between living in Europe in the 1910s or Europe in the 1940s, I would rather live in the 1910s because there was the Holocaust in the 1940s and the Nazis made life horrible and  in my opinion as bad as World War I was, World War II was a whole lot worse.

It was a bully time.
I wouldn't want to live in the 1910s for the rest of my life, but I have often felt that there is a certain quaintness to the period (yes, despite all the 'isms' we already know about. I being Italian also might not be very popular...) that I would want to spend a single week if I could. Romance a beautiful young woman (I do think women of the past were more beautiful than today on the whole), spend a sweet week in May of 1910 - before the Titanic or Guns of August.

My paternal grandfather was fighting then (not my maternal grandfather, he was too young) and was at the Somme.

Did you ever get to meet him? And if so did he ever talk about WWI with you or what his "day" (I mean his youth) was like?

Women looked so pretty back then.

Yes. They had an innocence about their looks, and a statuesque - an almost Greco-Roman - sort of grace to them.

What about the non-rich women, aka 80% of them back then :)?

These images are what was most common, and should also include working kids, who could look up from their looms and see the men outside playing golf

What were the kids doing for fun activities? ???

Stickball, crack the whip, ring around the rosy perhaps even playing cards. In every era of history children had some form of entertainment that was theirs.

The Smartphone should be counted as a third parent.
I have a niece who was born in 2006. Left to her own devices, she'd be staring at her phone all day long. I watch her. She zones out into that thing and her eyes glaze over like a heroin addict. You even have to call her name a couple of times to get her attention. Not only that, but she's exposed to so much information via that phone that a kid of her age shouldn't know.

More kids addicted 2 phones drivel please

Alexander Graham Bell originally suggested 'ahoy-hoy' be adopted as the standard greeting when answering a telephone, before 'hello' (suggested by Thomas Edison) became common.
