Explanation:

This term was given in two different ways: the first one was a term that was used by several writers, such as Ernest Hemigway and others, to refer to the lost generation of American writers of the 1920's. But it was also used to refer specifically to the post world war I generation which, according to people, had lost their principles and values, or whose principles and values had been rendered useless, by the harshness and difficulties of war, by the physical, psychological and emotional wounds they had syffered. These principles, which defined the pre-world war I generation, were lost, as were the men and women who died during the war, which was why they were called a "lost generation".
