The interwar years between WWI & WWII

During the interwar years between WWI & WWII, the world was on its continual revolution. The horrors of the trenches were put into literature and art for the masses to see. With the horrors brought forth by this new type of total war, people looked inwards for their inspiration. Artists, writers, architects, philosophers, psychology, scientists, and theologians all found new inspirations. Each with their interpretation on how to bring humans in-touch with their inner selves.
Literature was greatly impacted by the WWI. There were many writers and poets who participated and were forever changed by it. They wrote about the war in all its anti-glory. The battles inspired poetry, plays, narratives, and novels. Each never failing to bring a full description of the barbarity that "civilization" committed upon itself.
Artists also brought change to the view of the world. What once was a plain view of how to see the world had now been turned into abstract. Many new forms of art were given birth. Such schools as cubists and surrealists were created. Art no longer simply represented the world as a picture would but as what a dream would.
One of the most important figures of this time was Albert Einstein. While others of the time created art to be looked at and literature to make one wonder about one self, Einstein changed the world through science. Science that has brought atomic energy and all the inventions that came with radiation. Electronic devices were invented, such as X- rays and most importantly, at least to me, television.
The interwar years continued the radical change in the world brought on by new ways of thought and also by increases in science. WWI created a feeling to look at ourselves and find understanding. Ultimately it was science that has most influenced the world of today. The globe has become one virtual Pangaea again through globalization. While intellectuals continue to argue about what is man's new role in the ever changing phases of the human world, it is the science of Einstein that brings exciting new possibilities to physical reality.
