The First World War ended in 1918, but its impact reverberated across the globe for decades. The war's devastation, both physical and psychological, created widespread disillusionment and anxiety. The old order had crumbled, empires dissolved, and traditional social structures were shaken. Millions were dead, economies shattered, and the political landscape drastically altered, leading to widespread uncertainty and a search for new ideologies and ways of life. This period of unease paved the way for radical political movements, economic instability, and ultimately, further global conflict.
