How did the Second Wold War influence the end of modernity?

by Kasper_Schou

I'm writing an assignment for school, where I have to explain the values present in Europe before the Second World War and analyze the war's influence on the breakdown of the values of modernity, and I was wondering if you guys have any experience on this subject, and could potentially point towards any primary and secondary sources I could use?
