Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Historical changes often affect the literature of a place. When a historical event occurs, it is common for writers to discuss it in their own text. This allows us to understand the point of view of those who lived through those experiences, it can change author's topics, perspective point of view. Does literature affect history? Yes it does ofc, WW1 and WW2, it can also depend on the war itself
