The 1920s (pronounced "nineteen-twenties" often shortened to the " '20s " or the " Twenties ") was a decade that began on January 1, 1920, and ended on December 31, 1929.

The 1920s began with women's suffrage, Prohibition, and the rise of the Harlem Renaissance. Technological and cultural advancements continued, with the first talkie and solo transatlantic flight in 1927.
