9. What do you think the point of this art was?
Why did this sort of art come out of WWI?
Throughout Western art, the grim realities of industrial warfare led to a backlash against the propaganda and grandiose nationalism that had sparked the conflagration. Cynicism toward the ruling classes and disgust with war planners and profiteers led to demands for art forms that were honest and direct, less embroidered with rhetoric and euphemism.
"Abstract words such as glory, honor, courage, or hallow were obscene," Ernest Hemingway wrote in his 1929 novel A Farewell to Arms

17. “They found themselves expected to settle down into the humdrum routine of American life as if nothing had happened, to accept the moral dicta of elders who seemed to them still to be living in a Pollyanna land of rosy ideals which the war had killed for them. They couldn't do it, and they very disrespectfully said so.”

Oh, what a soldier boy he'll be!
If he's just half as good in a trench
As he was in the park on a bench,
Then ev'ry Hun, had better run
And find a great big linden tree,

'Cause he's a bear in any morris chair
And if he fights like he can love
Why, then it's good night Germany!"

46. An official, but non-binding, federal referendum was held in 1898 on prohibition, receiving 51.3% for and 48.7% against prohibition on a voter turnout of 44%. Prohibition had a majority in all provinces except Quebec, where a strong 81.10% voted against it. Despite this electoral majority, Prime Minister Wilfrid Laurier's government chose not to introduce a federal bill on prohibition in Parliament, mindful of the strong antipathy in Quebec.
As a result, Canadian prohibition was instead enacted through laws passed by the provinces during the first twenty years of the 20th century. Prince Edward Island was the first to bring in prohibition in Alberta and Ontario passed prohibition laws in Quebec passed legislation in 1918 that would have prohibited alcohol from 1919 until the end of World War I. However, since the war ended in 1918, prohibition was never implemented in the province. The provinces then repealed their prohibition laws, mostly during the 1920s. Quebec was the first to repeal in 1920, making it the province enforcing prohibition for the shortest period of time; Prince Edward Island was last to repeal in Alberta repealed in 1924, along with Saskatchewan, upon realizing that the laws were unenforceable.
Realizing that they could not stop people from drinking entirely, temperance advocates successfully pressured all provincial and territorial governments to curtail the sale of liquor as much as possible through the tight control of liquor control boards. Nevertheless, some communities, such as the city of Owen Sound, Ontario, continued to outlaw liquid well into the 1970s.
