WWI

World War I known as the Great War, started off between Britain and Germany. To keep up with the news of the war, Wyndham Lewis found the magazine Blast. His intentions of the magazine name was to"blow away tired literary and social conventions"(1080), which soon turned to the movement of "Vorticism". The things they wrote were quite random " elephants are VERY BIG. Motor cars go quickly" (1083). The lists of "blast" go on to describe pretty much everything and everyone. In relation to the war, Great Britain and Germany had naval competition and the Blast praised England's ships and ports.
