In the "Destroy this Brute" poster, what is represented in the background? the end of hope the United States a destroyed Europe an end to prosperity

Destroyed Europe--the ape is representing Germany and he has taken a lady (representing liberty). He is stepping onto the shores of America with Europe in the background destroyed.

This poster encourages support for US entry into World War I to protect the values of liberty in America. It suggests that Germany is made with power and will not stop with Europe but will continue to the US to destroy America as well.
