World War I (jul 23, 1914 – oct 23, 1918)

Description:

WWI kicked off the modern era for many scholars, as it demonstrated the sheer destructive capabilities of man, shaking man's trust in its current trajectory and fate and in the foundations of Western civilization itself, for better or worse. WWI was a major influence of the modernist movement, and subsequently, the postmodern and current literary movements.
