The Interwar Period (The Aftermath Of World War I, The Interbellum, Between The Wars): In the context of the history of the 20th century, The Interwar Period was the period between the end of the First World War on November 11, 1918 and the beginning of the Second World War on September 1 1939; in the context of the history of the United States, the Interwar pPeriod was the period between the end of the First World War on November 11, 1918 and the Japanese Attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Despite the relatively short period of time, the period represented an era of significant changes worldwide. Petroleum-based energy production and associated mechanisation expanded dramatically leading to the Roaring Twenties, a period of economic prosperity and growth for the middle class in North America, Europe, Asia and many other parts of the world. Automobiles, electric lighting, radio broadcasts and more became common among populations in the developed world. The indulgences of the era subsequently were followed by the Great Depression, an unprecedented worldwide economic downturn that severely damaged many of the world's largest economies. Politically, the era coincided with the rise of communism, starting in Russia with the October Revolution and Russian Civil War, at the end of World War I, and ended with the rise of fascism, particularly in Germany and in Italy. China was in the midst of half-a-century of instability and the Chinese Civil War between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party of China. The empires of Britain, France and others faced challenges as imperialism was increasingly viewed negatively in Europe, and independence movements emerged in many colonies; for example the south of Ireland became independent after much fighting. The Ottoman, Austro-Hungarian and German Empires were dismantled, and the Ottoman and German colonies were redistributed among the Allies, chiefly Britain and France. The western parts of the Russian Empire, Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland became independent nations in their own right, and Bessarabia (now Moldova and parts of Ukraine) chose to reunify with Romania. The Russian communists managed to regain control of the other East Slavic states and Baltic states (Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania), Central Asia and the Caucasus, forming the Soviet Union. Ireland was partitioned between the independent Irish Free State and the British-controlled Northern Ireland after the Irish Civil War in which the Free State fought against "anti-treaty" Irish republicans, who opposed partition. In the Middle East, Egypt and Iraq gained independence. During the Great Depression, countries in Latin America nationalised many foreign companies, mostly of which were American, in a bid to strengthen their own economies. The territorial ambitions of the Soviets, Japanese, Italians and Germans led to the expansion of their domains.

Eric Sevareid, nicknamed Buddy, American journalist (November 26, 1912 - July 9, 1992) was born Arnold Eric Sevareid in Velva, North Dakota to Norwegian immigrants; he preserved a strong bond with Norway throughout his life. Adventurous from a young age, several days after he graduated from high school, he and his friend Walter Port embarked on an expedition by canoe from Minneapolis to York Factory on Hudson Bay, sponsored by the Minneapolis Star newspaper (now The Star Tribune). While attending the University of Minnesota, he was an activist against ROTC recruitment on campus. He was one of a group of elite war correspondents hired by pioneering CBS newsman Edward R. Murrow, and thus dubbed "Murrow's Boys". He was the first to report the fall of Paris when it was captured by the Germans during World War II. Traveling into Burma during World War II, his aircraft was shot down and he was rescued from behind enemy lines by a search and rescue team established for that purpose. He was the final journalist to interview Adlai Stevenson before his death. After a long and distinguished career, he followed in Murrow's footsteps as a commentator on the CBS Evening News for 12 years for which he was recognized with Emmy and Peabody Awards. Eric Sevareid died of stomach cancer at age 79 in Washington, D.C. His remains were cremated; some of his ashes scattered over Norway, and some were given to his widow Suzanne St. Pierre.
