As the world bid farewell to the 1910's, it was introduced to a decade that would be unlike any other. Separating two world wars, the 1920's followed events such as the sinking of the Titanic (1912), the invention of stainless steel (1913), and the completion of the Panama Canal (1914). The Roaring Twenties would have their own share of excitement and wonder as well - the Treaty of Versailles ended World War I, and penicillin was discovered.
