Globally, there was a discernible cultural shift brought about by World War II, and these impacts are still being felt now. The fact that the United States, one of the main participants in the war, was isolated from the great bulk of the physical destruction by a full ocean is what has to be addressed. The only options available to the civilians who stayed at home to engage with the war were propaganda and their own imaginations, while soldiers were forced to deploy overseas. Because of this, the post-war experience in the United States differed greatly from that of various European nations, as did the post-war cultural psychology. Due to sociological and geographic circumstances, the psychological damage caused by World War II to the United States had a deeper impact on the national consciousness than it did in Europe, and this was reflected in some of the greatest literary masterpieces of the century.
