stories.

and glory

Answer 1

The correct answer is D) They emphasized suffering and death rather than wartime heroism and glory.

Post-World War I books like "All Quiet on the Western Front" differ

from earlier stories about the war in that "They emphasized suffering and death rather than wartime heroism and glory."

In 1928, German veteran Erich Maria Remarque wrote the novel "All Quiet on the Western Front." In a clear different tone than other books about World War that glorified honor and courage, this book focused on the pain soldiers suffered rather than glorifying their service.

World War I caused too much pain and destruction of people and property.

Let's have in mind that after the assassination of the Austrian archduke, Austria declared war on Serbia.

Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie were assassinated on June 28, 1914, when they were about to visit the Town Hall in Sarajevo. The assassin was Garilov Princip. The aggression represented a direct attack on the Austria-Hungary empire and this incident was one of the main reasons for World War 1.
