✔️ANSWER:-
✍️(i) After the war, Britain found it difficult to recapture
its earlier position of dominance in the Indian market, and to compete with
Japan internationally.
✍️(ii) Moreover, to finance war expenditures, Britain had
borrowed liberally from the US. This meant, that at the end of the war, Britain
was burdened with huge external debts.
✍️ (iii) The war had led
to an economic boom, that is a huge increase in demand, production and
employment. When the war ended, production contracted and unemployment
increased.
✍️(iv) At the same time, the government reduced bloated war
expenditures to bring them into line with peacetime revenues. These
developments lead to huge job losses.
