The Western Front was the main theatre of war during the First World War. Following the outbreak of war in August 1914, the German Army opened the Western Front by invading Luxembourg and Belgium, then gaining military control of important industrial regions in France. The tide of the advance was dramatically turned with the Battle of the Marne. Following the Race to the Sea, both sides dug in along a meandering line of fortified trenches, stretching from the North Sea to the Swiss frontier with France, which changed little except during early 1917 and in 1918.

- crops were failing
- there was land shortage
These people managed to get the government to implement literacy tests and immigrants who failed it would not be allowed in.
The cartoonist in this cartoon is criticizing it by putting the literacy tests as a wall which gives it a negative connotation because walls are generally used to denote progress being stopped.
