If you are referring to the interbellum period between the two World Wars, that is relatively simple to explain. Right after World War I ended, the Roaring Twenties started up, which was basically a cultural and societal movement that was focused a great deal on jazz and dancing, especially in America. The cities that showed the greatest signs of the Roaring Twenties in the United States were Chicago, New Orleans, New York, and Philadelphia. In Europe, where jazz was much more scarce, it was the most popular and evident in the cities of London, Paris, and Berlin. Of course, music was about to be affected pretty hard by Hitler and Nazi Germany's hold over Europe during World War II. Hitler banned jazz and Swing Music because he thought it reflected too much of American culture. Interestingly enough, Hitler's propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels, actually commissioned a jazz band to write jazz and swing music that the Nazis could use against the Allies as propaganda. The band was called Charlie and His Orchestra. Most of the music during World War II was all German and Nazi based. Hitler even had popular song lyrics changed if he deemed them inappropriate for the Nazi cause. So as you can see, music was affected greatly and it went through many transitional periods throughout the time periods of World War I to World War II.
