Day by day, month by month, year by year, the death count of the Great War increased into the millions. Even this, however, paled before the fatal power of an influenza epidemic. This disease, which raged across six continents in 1918 and 1919, was a pandemic, an epidemic that spread worldwide. It killed between 50 million and 100 million people, causing even more deaths than the Great War itself.
The figures were staggering: 20 million dead in India, uncounted millions in China, half a million dead in the United States, more than 400,000 in France, 250,000 in Japan, 200,000 in Britain, 12,000 in Australia, whole villages wiped out in Alaska and Africa. Steam shovels dug mass graves to bury the dead. First the Great War, and now this awful pan-demic-what was the world coming to? The French poet Paul Valery said this about the decades after World War 1: "The storm has died away and still we are restless, uneasy as if the storm were about to break. Almost all the affairs of men remain in a terrible uncertainty." In the industrialized Western world, the twentieth century had dawned with such optimism and confidence. But since 1914, so many horrible things had happened that people wondered whether it was possible to influence, let alone control, the course of human events. The reason seemed to play a questionable role in human affairs, and progress seemed far from certain.
After the war, in response to a world in which the old certainties seemed lost or shattered, many artists altered, questioned, or simply abandoned reality in their works. One group of artists asked, "What is reality?" and answered, in effect, "Sheer idiocy and chaos." In the words of Tristan Tzara, one of the founders of the artistic movement called Dada, "[Dada] says to you: There is Humanity and the lovely idiocies which have made it happy to this advanced age." The Dadaists looked at the ruins of World War I and responded with a bitter laugh. If this is what modern civilization has brought us, they thought, then the best thing art can do is undermine, subvert, and mock everything about modern civilization, including art itself. Dada was a kind of anti-art. In a typical Dada gesture, in response to a call for works to be exhibited in an art show, the French artist Marcel Duchamp submitted a work titled Fortazn. It was a porcelain urinal, signed by the artist, but under the name "R. Mutt." The organizers of the show chose not to exhibit Duchamp's Fownhaat.
In Europe, the Great War left behind death, destruction, and poverty. In the United States, it was a different story. The United States had been spared the physical ruin of the war and enjoyed an economic boom in the decade that followed. In the Roaring Twenties, so named because the U.S. economy "roared," Americans switched on their radios-the newest form of entertainment-and listened to swinging jazz music. Many took to the streets in automobiles, which had become more affordable as they rolled off Henry Ford's assembly lines. Crowds bought
tickets for the movie theaters, where silent film stars like Charlie Chaplin kept audiences laughing. When the "talkies"-movies with sound-began in the late 1920s, even more Americans fell in love with the movies. In the wake of the Great War, the standards of American social decorum and mural life changed. Young ladies once constrained by corsets and chaperones became flappers who dared to show their legs, bob their hair, and drive.
Alexander Fleming. Determined to find a way to stop so many deaths, Fleming set up a makeshift laboratory.
Peering through his microscope, he studied the bacterial cells that were causing infections. Of the trillions of bacteria in the human body, most are a helpful-for examples, they aid digestion or help build capillaries that move blood through the intestines. But a tiny minority of bacteria can cause infections, which can Scottish doctor Alexander Fleming was the first to discover make even a harmless-looking benefit of penicillin.
