This letter is going into detail about how the lives of children especially are affected by the war. It was written in 1916 or 1917, to someone of great significance to them. This had a very important role in the war, because it was the only way soldiers could get in touch with family members and vice versa. In a lot of cases, soldiers would leave their belongings in a note when they were not expected to return from battle. This was so their family members could know they were alive or dead, and to not worry as much about them. It impacted the future heavily, because this form of communication remained in large for almost a century's time.
Seven Sweet Ages of Love was written in 1917. Music during World War 1 was written for a few different reasons. It was a time when many classical musicians died during battle. Some pieces were written in the sorrow of their loss and also the tragedy that had presented itself during the war. By writing songs based on their emotions, we can get a glimpse into how they were feeling and all the stress and loss they were going through at that time. Not to mention how important music is to us today. These songs played an impact on not only our view of music, but our interpretation of it as well.
This is an example of a bill from Germany during World War 1. The currency used at that time was called a mark. This bill is 50 marks. This is important because during the time of the war, this bill was their currency. However, shortly after, it changed to the rentenmark because of heavy inflation during that time period. Money was a very heavy influence during that time and eventually played a role in the rising power of Adolf Hitler.
This particular gold star was given during 1918 to a soldier who was killed during the war. It served a purpose to the soldier’s family, but also to the soldier himself, by showing his honor for his country. During the war, millions of these were given to those who gave their lives. Even now, family members or museums who have golden stars from world war 1, still think of the soldiers who died, to have major honor and gives them total respect for giving their life so that we can live ours happily.
