Tristan Tzara, Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, Dada Manifesto, Founding and Manifesto of Futurism, differences in both purpose and tone
Accompanying great movements are differing points of view. The variances allow the rare chance for comparison among two essentially different movements.

Inspection of the Dada Manifesto and Founding Manifesto of Futurism reveal differences in both purpose and tone.
