The World War 1 affected children of various ages greatly. (Excluding the fact that they lost beloved family members) Some were also forced to start working at a young age; there were even some who were enthusiastic about being entrenched. Children from different countries suffered different fates. For example, children in Britain were forced to evacuate, while the children in the U.S were simply told to ration their supplies.
In some cases where they have to ration their supplies, many families and their children died from starvation, food poisoning or diseases. This caused some infants to die before they even reached their first birthday. Amid all the chaos, some children were oblivious to the fact that their country was at war. And didn’t understand why their fathers had to leave, or why there wasn’t enough food.
World War 1 not only took the lives of soldiers and women, but also the innocent lives of children.
