Question

State any three effects of 1st world war over europe

Answer 1

The First World War was a calamity for Germany and Europe.
World War I was the deadliest war which involved more countries and was more expensive than any other war before it.
The weapons used during WW1 were also more advanced than any previous war, using tanks, submarines, poison gas, airplanes and long range artillery.
Over 9 million military personnel died during this war, and over 7 million men were left permanently disabled. It is not surprising that the effects of WW1 were still evident decades later.
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.
