After World War I, America’s desire for normalcy stemmed from a collective yearning for stability and a return to pre-war life, following the upheaval and sacrifices of the conflict.

This desire was encapsulated in the 1920 presidential campaign of Warren G. Harding, who famously promised a "return to normalcy."
