When you become the world's policeman, wars are easy to find.
But I guess the 'roaring twenties' were quite a peaceful time.

Very much so and it was one of the huge immigration hotspots of the 20th century and also one of the largest. Huge amounts of people from Portugal, Spain, Japan, Italy, Germany, France, much of Eastern Europe and also quite a few people from the Arab states most notably from the Lebanon. You don't get a population of 194 million people without taking in quite a few immigrants! and then of course they had to adapt to their new and strange environment.
