1919
Post-armistice peace year
1919 refers to the year, often invoked for its turbulent events: the end of World War I, the Spanish flu pandemic, race riots across American cities, labor strikes, and the beginning of Prohibition.
In historical shorthand, 1919 captures a moment of global upheaval and social transformation: The summer of 1919 saw violence erupt in Chicago.
