what was the condition of the small property owners after the first world war
Answers
Answer:
In almost all the countries which took part in the First World War, governments and parliaments devised and implemented legal measures directed against civilians who were nationals (sometimes supposed nationals) of an enemy country. Enemy aliens became the target of policies often presented as acts of retaliation and justified by the need to preserve the integrity of the state, guarantee and defend its security and weaken the economic capacity of the enemy. These policies curtailed individual freedom, civil liberties and property rights. Governments and armies (sometimes with the support of parliaments, more frequently thanks to the extraordinary powers granted them by state of emergency legislation) thus intervened in the lives of citizens and non-citizens, not only jeopardizing their rights and their freedom, but also accelerating the process of nationalization and homogenization of both populations and economies. Even though suspension of habeas corpus, expulsion, repatriation, deportation of civilians from occupied territories, internment and confiscation had been experienced in past conflicts, the First World War was the first in which all these features coalesced to affect the lives of hundreds of thousands of people.
