outbreak of WWI (World War I), the world was under a huge changing period regarding technologies, ideologies and civilizations. Impacts were inevitable from war, thousands of sacrifices, ruined families, and even the fall of countries.

Contribution “World War I was not inevitable, as many historians say. It could have been avoided, and it was a diplomatically botched negotiation,” once said Richard Holbrooke, an American diplomat.

American Senator William E. Borah of Idaho said it best as he voted to declare
World War I Continued The questioned raised is whether or not I believe that WWII was a continuation of WWI. I do believe WWII happened as a result of some of the things which came out of WWI, however, not necessarily as a continuation.

The war has always acted as a vicious muse for songwriters. Since Antiquity, it has inspired a vast song repertoire, which has been able to describe tragic events in a vivid and striking way. Governments and rulers used and are still using music with propagandistic and mass control aims; patriotic composers consecrate their works to glorify belligerent ideals and galvanise the troops, while pacifist or subversive ones tries to condemn warfare. Music is also extensively used after wars with commemorative
