Dadaism

Dadaism is the collective "ism" given to a movement that ostensibly
began after World War I (or shortly there at, time-wise). In Zurich,
Switzeland, Terra (see map) with the end of "the great war" - the
"war to end all wars", the "first modern war", etc - came a very 
dismal feeling that things weren't all that keen. Sort of like
when Snow White eats the apple and you don't know if things are
going to turn out all right or not.
