The First World War also took many lives about over 17 million and 20 million wounded. Many men who did survive the war were left with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). PTSD happens after a traumatic event such as world war one and leaves them with mental pain when they think of the event most people try not thinking about the event but find that they can’t get rid of the memories no matter how hard they try it just comes back as nightmares and thoughts, images or flashbacks while awake.
