Was World War 1 the true cause of the end of Edwardian ideals and values?

yes it was. WW1 obviously had a great impact on the world, particularly Europe. Just how different the ideals & values were in the 1920s to before WW1 I think is difficult to quantify. Certainly the Great War brought the Edwardian era to an end but what effect it had on ideals & values, it cannot be viewed dispassionately. I cannot see the connection. No, WW1 marks a change in History, but the values of the Edwardian age will change over time, despite the war. Ideals & Values will change in time irrespective of the impact of what happens during that time. Yes, WW1 happened at that time, but the change will have occurred in the process of the passing of time anyway. History, time, will progress irrespective of the events, obviously the events have an effect, but it wasn't the war that changed the Edwardian ideals & values but the progress of time itself. What ever has happened today has had an effect, but tomorrow will inevitably be different to yesterday: It's called progress.
