All Quiet On The Western Front Effects Of War

What were the effects of the war on the soldiers who fought in it? The effects of war on these soldiers’ lives, had a very negative impact. Some of the effects were a lost generation, scarring the soldiers for life, causing them to lose their innocence, and to take other people’s lives.

When Archie was in the trenches he saw the generals makes pointless decisions. Just like All Quiet on the Western Front, the soldiers are dying which, is killing that generation’s population for some war. Archie could have become a famous runner and had a future, Paul also could have had a future because he really liked school and had a bright future.

I respect Archie, but it was not the best decision he ever made. It was not the best decision for all the soldiers who decide to fight in the
