Question

Explain the cause and effects of first world war

Answer 1

Effects

WW1 caused the downfall of four monarchies: Germany, Turkey, Austria-Hungary and Russia.

The war made people more open to other ideologies, such as the Bolsheviks that came to power in Russia and fascism that triumphed in Italy and even later in Germany.

WW1 largely marked the end of colonialism, as the people became more nationalistic and the one country after the other started colonial revolts in Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Africa.

The war changed the economical balance of the world, leaving European countries deep in debt and making the U.S. the leading industrial power and creditor in the world.
