SIMILARITIES

• Both decades had the summer Olympics
• The 1920's had the olympics 3 threes in 1920, 1924, 1928 and the 1930's only had the olympics twice in 1932, and 1936

SIMILARITIES

• The radio was used in both the 1920's and the 1930's to listen many sports events the radio was used more often in the 30's because if you had one before the depression you used it to listen to an event instead of paying money to go.
