War of the Worlds “No one would have believed, in the last years of the nineteenth century, that human affairs were being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man’s and yet as mortal as his own; that as men busied themselves about their affairs they were scrutinized and studied, perhaps almost as a man with a microscope might scrutinize the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water.”( from War Of The Worlds) One of the world’s first science fiction novels about life forms on other planets, and an invasion on the human race by alien species, War Of The Worlds was written in retort to many events that happened during the time. One of the most important events was the unification and militarization of Germany. There was an even more specific event that took place before the writing of this novel in which inspired Wells.
