World War I (the “Great War”)

Answer 2

The correct answer is: scientific ideas, Freudian psychology, technological changes and new forms of transportation

During Modernism (1900-1930) artists and thinkers rebelled against every doctrine accepted by the Establishment.

While it exalted the mathematical scientific paradigm, to detriment of the metaphysical spirit dominant in the middle ages, Einstein's theory of relativity had demonstrated the limitations of science.

The industrial revolution had shown that technological changes caused social imbalances as well as poor living and working conditions, but innovations in the field of transportation and communication accelerated the daily life of the individual, placing movement as a factor that allows people to experience the changing world around them.

Freudian analysis of unconsciously repressed instincts revealed the lack of knowledge and control over human behavior.
