Yes, WWI did create a "lost generation", which is what they refer to the survivors of WWI. However, this "lost" generation isn't exactly lost as in lost and found. This generation was lost in thought, because the Lost Generation did not know what to do after the war, and they felt depressed and scared. What they were lost in was in thought, and what they lost was hope and a feeling of security.

Actually, each of the five major combatants (France, the United Kingdom, German Empire, Russian Empire, and the Austo-Hungarian Empire) lost so many 18-30 year olds during the war that they all can be considered to have lost a generation.Historians generally consider that Europe as a whole lost a generation of men due to WW1. Overall, roughly 15% of allEuropean men born between 1890 and 1900 were killed during WW1, with almost 50% becoming casualties (physical or psychological wounds).For comparison: men in the 18-30 age range constituted about 10% to the total population of most European countries, and the average combatant country lost about 3-4% of its total population due to WW1. The vast majority of those deaths occurred in the male, 18-30 age range.
