Where did Animal Farm come from?
George Orwell got the idea for his story when he saw small
boy driving a horse and whipping it whenever it tried to
turn in another direction.
![Page 6: Animal Farm: Author, Characters, and History](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815d3c550346895dcb4062/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Orwell then began to create his fable about the animals
of Manor Farm—
He tried to fuse political purpose with artistic purpose
in one novel.

Background to Animal Farm Published in 1945 In the previous 4 months: Pres. Roosevelt,
Mussolini and Hitler had died; Churchill had been voted out of office.
Germany had surrendered, and the U.S. dropped atomic bombs over Japan.
Of the big three Allied leaders, only Stalin survived.
![Page 52: Animal Farm: Author, Characters, and History](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815d3c550346895dcb4062/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
More Background During WWII, Russia had been an ally of the
U.S. and England. After the Battle of Normandy (1944) Western
nations had a feeling of solidarity with the Russian people. The Russian Army helped protect England from a German invasion.
As a result of the pro-Russian atmosphere, Orwell had a hard time finding a publisher for his novel.
