What world event is similar to 'The World of Oz'?

Answer 1

Population displacements from large-scale conflicts and natural catastrophes are world events that are similar to "The Wizard of Oz."

Specifically, a cyclone removes Dorothy Gale from her home in Kansas and takes her over the rainbow and into the magical land of Oz. Dorothy keeps trying to get back home and finally succeeds. The circumstances and the struggle are reminiscent of populations displaced by military conflict or natural catastrophes such as earthquakes.

Answer 2

Large-scale conflicts and natural catastrophes are world events that are similar to what happens in "The Wizard of Oz."

Specifically, "The Wizard of Oz" tells the story of a young girl who gets lost and finds her way back home. The story therefore resembles the involuntary displacement of people on a large scale. Such happens during and after major conflicts and natural catastrophes, such as world wars and major earthquakes.
