Impact on American and its Literature
Most American people thought that the treaty was unfair to Germany, many thought that the treat was just to make Britain and France rich, and break down Germany. The authors and poets of this time changed the fashion of writing into a more modernist way of view, and the music was changing to more of a jazz tune. Also some poets used more a plain New England tones.
