WWI, Spirit of 1914

People in front of the Berlin Cathedral (Berliner Dom) in Berlin, Germany, cheering the declaration of World War I. The Spirit of 1914 refers to the alleged jubilation in Germany at the outbreak of World War I. Many individuals remembered that euphoria erupted on August 4, 1914 after all the political parties in the Reichstag, supported the war credits in a unanimous vote, later referred to as the Burgfrieden. But there was also widespread as the populace watched their loved ones march off to battle. An estimated one million war poems were sent to German newspapers in August 1914 alone. Dissent was smothered by this overabundance of literature cheering the war, the promise not to violate the Burgfrieden, and fear of undermining support for loved ones on the front, Bain News Service, August 1914.
