Answer 2

The War created a new economic and political situation :

(☛ It led to a huge increase in defence expenditure which was financed by war loans and increasing taxes, customs duties were raised, and income tax introduced.


(☛ Through the war years, prices increased - doubling between 1913 and 1918 - leading to extreme hardships for the common people.

(☛ Villagers were called upon to supply soldiers, and the forced recruitment in rural areas caused widespread anger.
