Needless to say WWI influenced their lives. During that time it was known as "The Great War", because it was the worst combat that the world had ever seen, with weapons such as the machine gun, mustard gas, tanks, and airplanes…

Because the hippie movement was filled with unnecessary ideas and blindsided juveniles who consumed drugs frequently and…

by saying the Hippie Movement, while others might say the Vietnam War, but both answers to the question are correct.

Despite the important involvement of these groups during the time period, their impacts were fairly minimal. The SDS saw issues with its purely student demographic.
