X-Factor (Living the Twenties #AtoZChallenge 2020)

Rising from the ruins of WWI, fated to end in the looming shadows of the Great Depression and then of WWII, the 1920s have that vitality that is not totally explainable. That X-factor that made them a time of excitement even in among terrible events.

Refugees (Living the Twenties #AtoZChallenge 2020)

People had never had problems to cross borders. Before WWI, when a person wanted to go from one country to another, they simply did. There was no need for any documents.
