When the Great War ended in 1918, the West was broken. Religious faith, patriotism and the belief in human progress had all been called into question by the mass carnage experienced by both sides. Shell shocked and traumatised, the West faced a world it no longer recognised: the old order had collapsed, replaced by an age of machines. The world hurtled forward on gears and crankshafts and terrifying new ideologies arose from the wreckage of past belief.
