Publisher Description
I THE GREAT WAR OF 1914-1918 is also on occasion referred to as "The Great War for Civilization." It was a commonly held belief that this was a war to save civilization from destruction and, in effect, to preserve and to strengthen the foundations of Europe's legacy to the world. By the end of the war and stretching well into the 1930s, the noble word civilization was increasingly replaced by another word, a word signifying bleakness and heartbreak: "Disenchantment," which was often used to describe the social, physical, and moral horrors that came to pass once the conflict came to its ignominious end on November 11, 1918.
