Desperate Attempt For Some Help

It's that time of year again... when colleges feel like crushing their students under an enormous amount of work and nonsense assignments. Anyways, if anyone could provide me with some help I would be greatly thankful. For my Western Civilization class I have to write an essay and am having some trouble understanding the question. Here it is:

1. Many historians identify the First World War as the moment when the nineteenth-century notion of historical progress (derived in part from Hegel) came to a bloody and abrupt end. How does All Quiet on the Western Front reflect this disillusionment? Does our present-day society still share this disillusionment, or have we moved on? Use examples from the text to support your argument.

I have read the text thoroughly but am just confused with the term "disillusionment." I know its meaning, but in this context are they asking me to argue/write that the text supports the argument that WWI was an end to historical progress? Or asking to argue that it was not an end to historical progress? Disillusionment is a horrible word to use in this context. Its left me miserable and helpless and was just curious to see if any history minded people or someone could help me in general.

Thank you!

      The question is which Bryce shows up game 1. Do we get week 2 (2024) Bryce, or week 18 (2024) Bryce?  I will say that his progression after the benching last year was amazing. He literally got better every game - sans Dallas. Like every week he did something we hadn't seen him do before. And it wasn't luck, toss it up for grabs plays like Penix did against Carolina. Penix was just throwing the ball as hard as he could in the direction of a receiver and hoping they'd make a play for him. What we saw from Bryce was different. Decision making, reading defenses, recognizing blitzes and where they were coming from, knowing his hot, avoiding pressure and manipulating the pocket, throwing with anticipation, taking shots downfield, and running the ball surprisingly well. Stats don't always tell the story. Did he miss some throws that he should have made - sure did. But the clutch gene is strong with this one. One score game and Carolina has the ball with 2 minutes on the clock - I'm confident he'll give them a chance to win more than he doesn't.

      I really like David Moore. He's a reliable WR. Smart, doesn't drop the ball and he's where he's supposed to be. Now, he ain't gonna route up a DB. He ain't gonna 50/50 ball a DB. He ain't gonna run by a DB either. But he runs a good enough route and catches the ball - definitely an NFL average WR. Every team could use a David Moore. Now if this receiving group can force Dan and Dave to let him go, then this team has come a long way since 2023. A LONG way. But I will say that Horn's speed is a big deal. They don't really have another guy with speed and quickness to blow the top off the defense and make guys miss in space after the catch, though he is still a rookie and hasn't done it in the NFL. If he and Renfrow push Moore out, then we might actually have something gents. Plus I see Renfrow as Thielen's replacement in 2026. I just don't think Coker is the reliable, move the chains guy like Thielen. Could be wrong.
