Question

What was impact of first world war German and European socity

Answer 1

The first world war had a devastating impact on Europe. The economic condition of Europe got worse and from a continent of creditors, it changed into a continent of debtors. Meaning, first they gave loans but now they took loans. Soldiers were given more importance than the citizens. The war drained Europe of its resources. Much of the resources were vanished after the war. The politicians wanted the men to become aggressive, masculine and stronger. The idea of dictatorship still prevailed and democracy could not make way as it was a too new idea at that time which could not handle the political instabilities in Europe at that time.

Answer 2

What was the impact of World War I on European society?
Answer:
The First World War left a deep imprint on European society and polity.

Soldiers came to be placed above civilians.Politicians and publicists laid great success on the need for men to be aggressive, strong and masculine.The media glorified trench life but actually soldiers lived miserable lives in these trenches, trapped with rats feeding on corpses.They faced poisonous gas and enemy shelling, and witnessed their ranks reduce rapidly.Aggressive war propaganda and national honour occupied centre stage in the public sphere, while popular support grew for conservative dictatorships that had recently come into being.
