Episode synopsis
After the horrific carnage of World War I, a new age of prosperity was expected, but it wouldn’t be that simple. Societies needed years to recover.
About Impossible Peace
Two world wars tore the heart out of the twentieth century. Between these two tragedies was an age that nostalgia views enthusiastically – a time of jazz, prohibition, the talkies, radio and the motor car. A time that was in reality an age of anxiety. Twenty years of peace that produced war. A peace that failed. Impossible Peace.
