From the Paper:

"The consciousness of what was possible changed, too. World War I was a time of great technological change. Aircraft joined in warfare for the first time, and many new weapons, such as tanks, grenades, and flame-throwers came into use. The population's consciousness changed after the war because technology had made them aware of the many things that were becoming possible in the modern world. More people were working in factories, but even more importantly, more people could afford modern technologies, such as automobiles, early appliances, and other non-essential goods. The population became more mobile, and because of this, they could travel more easily. They became more conscious of other countries, other people, and other lifestyles, and broadened their own consciousness. "
