Historians will one day look back at WWI as the event that lead to the end of Western Civilization.
I completely agree. Mark Steyn wrote extensively about that in "America Alone." The war created a huge "lost generation" with far fewer young men and sent women to work in the munitions factories. It led to hedonism and turning away from God. It led to the declining birth rate as people lived for themselves, not their progeny (birth rates in many Western European countries are below replacement). It led to immediate satisfaction of desires instead of deferring those. It led directly to WW II which exacerbated all these things. Both wars led to the importation of musselmen into Europe to work the factories and the eventual take-over of Europe by mohammedans. WW I gave communism a strong foothold in Europe which led to WW II socialism and a declining work ethic as the government took over traditional roles played by the church.
