Vancouver History in the 1920's
In 1922, Vancouver switches to driving on the right-hand
side from the British left-hand side. In 1925 the first Second Narrows
Bridge is built, connecting the North Shore for the first time.
WWI and the Wall Street crash of 1929 brought severe economic depression
and hardship to Canada. Vancouver, with its pleasant climate, became
a magnet for young unemployed Canadian men. But Vancouver had neither
work nor answers, and soon its streets were filled with demonstrations
and rioting.
