This section will display political cartoons from the First World War. Some cartoons are patriotic, while others express a cynical view of the war and its waste. The British cartoons emphasized the unflappable poise and urbanity of the British public and soldiers in the face of German atrocities. The so-called Rape of Belgium under German occupation was a main target of Allied propaganda cartoons.
The Crooked House, United Kingdom: This building has one end with four feet bar lower than the surface of the earth. It is a remarkable and one of the most amazing buildings in the world. It is named to be a crooked house by various United Kingdom publications.
(Itâs Chinaâs seventh-largest city by population, and lacks the name recognition of Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou.) Still, I wanted to know: Why? Building the largest free-standing structure in the world is impressive, but not quite as inspiring as building the tallest. Itâs like setting the world record for fastest 100-meter power walk. Then again, of course the largest building in the world is now Chinese; itâs strange that it wasnât before.
