The Lost Generation
In World War I about eleven million military men died. Barely any of the soldiers made it out of this tragic war without an injury. After the war ended on November 11, 1918 the men who were once enemies were now all just men.

Where the battles were fought, the land would be covered in bodies, dugouts, trenches, barbed wire fences, and supply trash. There is so much cleanup that needs to be done after a war. The lost generation World War I created was a time when men were lost in their purpose for the world. They could not find their way back to a real life. The soldiers were lost. World War I caused this lost generation by leaving millions of soldiers dead, millions wounded, and millions of lives messed
