Starting with the major texts of the 20th century. Futurism, conservatism, feminism, and nationalism are all at the table. Amusing that a socialist convention that wants peace would bookend the section leading to war, though socialism won't reach its peak until maybe 50 years later.

And now we are at the Great War. Death and suffering, plus a bit of mutiny and propaganda.
