Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

This question is about "The Lost Generation".

According to the article, some American writers have been disappointed with the positions that the US government has been taking, causing them to be totally opposed to their home country.

Reading the article, we can see that after the victory in the first world war, the US government became ambitious in spreading its imperialist ideas more strongly, completely abandoning its position of neutrality and stimulating the position of a dominant and imposing count.

This grandeur was not only related to military power, but also to the stimulation of communism and capitalism that destroys many spaíses economically in the name of the growth of others. Promoting strong social and economic inequality around the world and especially in national communities, as seen in "The Great Gatsby".

All of this, together with other problems, made writers strongly criticize the United States and become staunch supporters of contrary policies.
