America 1920-1973 (AQA) knowledge retrieval questions (with answers)

A set of 221 knowledge retrieval questions for the AQA GCSE unit ‘America 1920-1973: Opportunity and inequality’ - with answers!

I produced these retrieval questions for my students so that all they had to do was to find the answers, transfer to flash cards, and start to learn the content. I thought it would be useful (and time saving) to produce a full set of answers, as well - whether you give these to your students is up to you!

The questions are divided into 12 sections, roughly corresponding to the headings in the AQA specification:

A. The ‘Boom’ (25 questions)
B. Entertainment in the 1920s (15 questions)
C. Women in the 1920s (13 questions)
D. Immigration in the 1920s (14 questions)
E. African Americans and the Ku Klux Klan (13 questions)
F. Prohibition and the rise of organised crime (20 questions)
G. The Great Depression (15 questions)
H. The New Deal and economic recovery in WWII (24 questions)
I. Post-war economy and society (20 questions)
J. Racial tension and civil rights (1) (27 questions)
K. Racial tension and civil rights (2) (20 questions)
L. Social developments in the 1960s and 1970s (15 questions)
