Study Guide for H.G. Wells The War of the Worlds
- War of the Worlds was written in response to several historical events. The most important was the
unification and militarization of Germany, which led to a series of novels predicting war in Europe,
beginning with George Chesney's The Battle of Dorking (1871). Most of these were written in a
semi-documentary fashion; and Wells borrowed their technique to tie his interplanetary war tale to
specific places in England familiar to his readers. This attempt at hyper-realism helped to inspire
Orson Welles when the latter created his famed 1938 radio broadcast based on the novel.
