New York, 1925, 7.8 million inhabitants.
While Europe was moving away from the consequences of the war, it beneficially affected the US economy.
New York quickly became the focus of all America’s finances, the main port of the country, as well as the place where emigrants from all over the world came. In 1930, the legendary skyscraper Chrysler Building was erected here, and in 1931 – the equally famous tower Empire State Building. Today, the population of New York is 23.7 million people, but even with such an impressive figure the city is only in fifth place.
