Question

what was the impact of war on europe?

Answer 1

The First World War had devastating effects on Europe. Some of the important effects are as follows:

• Financially the huge war expenses reduced Europe to a land of debtors.
• Soldiers became more important than civilians. However, the life led by the soldiers too were pathetic. Exposed to poisonous gases and miserable life in trenches was just the opposite of what the media glorified to be.
• Politicians and publicists wanted men to be aggressive, strong and masculine.
• Aggressive war propaganda and national honour occupied centre stage and conservative dictatorship was widely supported.
