Some positive results of WW1 saw that they came up with new inventions, creativity, and new ideas. The negatives after WWI was that many people died, people changed the way they think, and people began questioning traditional beliefs.
Writers and philosopher's were affected by WWI. Philosophers and writers question every idea about reason and progress. T.S Elliot, is an American poet that lived in England and wrote about society had lost its spirit.
Another thing that was affect by WW1 was art and artist. Artist wanted to depict the inner world of emotion and imagination rather than show realistic representation, of objects. Surrealism, an art movement that sought to link the world of dream with real life, was inspired by Freud ideas. The term surreal means "beyond or above reality".
Also the WW1 affected science. One thing was Albert Einstein new ideas on science, space, time, energy, and matter. Einstein idea had implication not only for science but also for how people viewed the world.

How the U.S. & Russia Changed WWI
The United States joined World War I with the Allies on April 2, 1917 because the Germans said their submarines would begin sinking any ship near England. 3 of the U.S. Ships were sank which then angered the Americans.This plan was called unrestricted submarine warfare. Also Germany said would help Mexico "reconquer" land it had lost to the United States if Mexico would team up with Germany.
One of the reasons Russia quit World War 1 is because in 1917 nearly 5.5 million Russian soldiers had been wounded, killed, or taken prisoner. Also they suffered a lot which made Russians refused to fight any longer.
Germany felt confident about winning World War I because they mounted one final, massive attack on the Allies in France. Germany destroy everything in their path. Once they reach Marne river Paris was less then 40 mile of their reach. Victory for Germany and The Central Powers seemed within their reach.
US made a significant impact on the war stopping Germany in France, and destroyed their hope to win the war, losing massive amounts of troops.
Three significant impacts the war had on the world was the world lost 8.5 million soldiers, many civilian's suffered and died of starvation diseases and slaughters, and every continent in the world was involved.
