Fall 1914
Disillusion
From: The Great Class War 1914-1918
$2.50
During the fall of 1914 the enthusiasm of August, which had not been as great
as generally believed, gradually evaporates in all countries, to be replaced by
disappointment, despondency, and disillusion. Determinants of this development
are unexpected military setbacks, unprecedented losses, and the fact that the war
drags on without end in sight instead of finishing quickly and triumphantly. War
propaganda, no matter how aggressive, cannot remedy the situation . . .
