What was life like before World War 1?
I’m assuming that you’re talking about what life was like in the combatant countries before World War One. In most parts of the world, the peoples wouldn’t have been much affected by the conflict. Changes to their way of life would have come about more gradually, evolving as new inventions, new ideas etc. came to them from more ‘advanced’ and waring nations. Remember, the motor car and the aeroplane had only arrived a decade or so before WW1. Most transport – except for the steam train and steam ship – was much as it had been since ancient times: horse-drawn waggons, coaches, etc,and ‘shanks’s pony (walking) As a boy living in England in 1930s to 1950s, horse-drawn vehicles were commonplace in the delivery of bread, milk, coal, rubbish removal, and a few specialist people such as knife-sharpeners, rag-and-bone men, etc.. This answer could become very long-winded. The point made is that life was very different in and around the home: no radio, no TV, no refrigeration, no air-conditionin
