The usage of ようだ with 何かを感じていた


Could someone explain to me what it roughly means when a sentence is composed
of " **somethingに** 何かを感じていたようだ", such as "世界大戦に何かを感じていたようだ.




感じる here is related to 感想 which roughly translates to "thoughts". So it
roughly translates to `something seems to have invoked some thoughts in the
person`.
