One should also note that while things were just swell in America, Britain and (to a lesser extent) much of Western Europe (where it was dubbed The Golden '20s across UsefulNotes/ThePond and "Années Folle"s or the "Crazy Years" in UsefulNotes/{{France}}), if you were in an area hard hit by UsefulNotes/WorldWarI (say, [[UsefulNotes/WeimarRepublic Germany]], [[UsefulNotes/FascistItaly Italy]], Russia, Turkey or the entire Caucasus Mountains region... before the Soviets annexed it) this was ''not'' a fun time. However, it doesn't mean that they didn't try, once they were able to pull themselves together again. But in Germany, there are communist and fascist paramilitary groups who have some very grand ambitions and there will be a few people who get a chilling feeling that [[UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler one loud-mouth Austrian with a tooth-brush mustache]] is going to be very big trouble.

Removing this because it's obviously not set in the 1920's.


* ''Manga/TheWitchAndTheBeast'' - The world is emerging in this period, given the heavy dominance of Art Deco, zeppelins and appropriate dresses. There are no flappers or casinos yet, as it ''is'' transitioning from the Art Nouveau and Edwardian-era towns and cities however.
