Why were prominent american writers of the 1920s called the “lost generation”?
they lost books stored in europe during the war.
they lost their ability to write creatively during the war.
they survived the war, but were physically wounded.
they had trouble adjusting to life in the postwar era.

By the end of the 1800s, there was a change in the nature of the immigrants coming to the united states. immigration from northern europe—england, ireland, germany, and scandinavia—declined, while immigration from italy, russia, and austria-hungary grew. in fact, between 1900 and 1910, more than three-fourths of all immigrants came from these three countries. unfortunately, these countries were far removed england, the home of our founders, and the immigrants who came from them had a hard time adjusting to life in their new country.
