The correct answer is World War II.
After World War II, there was a significant shift in the understanding and definition of disabilities. The war resulted in a large number of soldiers returning home with physical and psychological disabilities, which raised awareness about the needs and rights of people with disabilities. This period led to more emphasis on rehabilitation, social inclusion, and the medical model of disability, which focused on treating and accommodating individuals with disabilities. Over time, this led to the development of policies and frameworks aimed at improving accessibility and rights for people with disabilities.
