     economic relations in the world.

    Practice constructing explanations and arguing out a
     point of view.
Aftermath
                         
 World War 1 ended on 11th Nov 1919 at 1100hrs GMT.
 At the end of the war, this was the outcome:

   Years of war: 1914-1919 (5 years)

   Total number of war dead: 11,016,000

   Total costs in US dollars: $196.5 billion (1990 dollar values)

   Number of years between WW I & WW II: about 20 years
The Impacts of WW I
           
 Impacts can be divided into 3 main areas or groups:

   Political
   Economic
   Social
Political
                      
 Political Impact 1: Growth of smaller nation states
   Old empires broken up – new nation-states formed. (F)
   Based on: ethnic majorities in a particular region. (El)
   US President Wilson proposed that national boundaries
    to be redrawn based on self-determination* (El)

   For example Austria, Hungary and Czechoslovakia
    created from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. (Ex)
   Re-drawing Europe’s map = did not create ethnic
    homogeneity. Led to more tensions within nations. (L)
Political
                             
 Political Impact 2: Nationalism & Revolution

    Nationalism was further strengthened after WW I as the control
     of old empires weakened. Revolutions in Russia and Germany.
     Citizens unhappy about how the war was managed. (F)

    Russian Tsar was replaced by Provisional Government and in
     Germany Kaiser Wilhelm II was replaced by Nazi dictatorship.
     (El + Ex)

    Colonies now exposed to ideas of self-determination. Subject
     peoples had a strong desire for independence. Independence
     movements in India and Burma. (El + Ex)

    This meant strong desire for change in the political structure and
     governance. (L)
Political
                        
 Political Impact 3: US adopts Isolationism
    Before the War – US wanted to stay out of the political
     affairs of Europe – preferred to be only a trading partner.

    After the war many citizens in the US continued to support
     isolationism - did not want US forces and personnel being
     drawn into another European conflict.
    However another group believed that US needed to be
     greater involved in World affairs so that the US could
     extend its influence elsewhere.
    The issue of isolationism still debated during inter-war
     period – only resolved at the start of WWII.
Buzz Break 1
                          one of the political
 Discuss in your teams, which
  factors was the most significant (important) and
  why?

 5 mins. Remember to:

   Practice FEEL
   Support your answers with materials from your notes
    or from the Internet .
Economic
                            
 Economic Impact 1: High national debt

 Western powers were in debt caused by having to finance a
  very costly war. (F)

 The war was very costly as both sides were forced to produce
  weapons and ammunition to carry on the fighting. (El)

 For example: Britain, France and Germany were facing huge
  debts. Forced to either borrow money and financial resources
  from the US or raise taxes at home. (Ex)

 The high debt = Europe dependent on the US for economic
  recovery. High taxes also caused unhappiness among citizens
  towards their governments. (L)
Economic
                              
 Economic Impact 2: Inflation
    Prices of necessities increased drastically as there was a
     severe shortage. “Too much money chasing too little
     products”
    As a result of war – most resources channeled towards
     weapons & ammunitions. Difficult to re-tool. Factories
     destroyed – necessities could not be produced.
    Inflation led to situations for example like that in Russia
     where although workers salaries doubled, prices of food
     more than doubled.

    Inflation left many governments helpless in ensuring the
     basic needs of citizens. Citizens grew dissatisfied with their
     governments and easily supported radical leaders.
Economic
                           
 Economic Impact 3: High unemployment & Shortages

   Production had not started after the war – unemployment
    was high. Due to difficulty in re-tooling.

   During the war, food & horses channeled towards the
    war effort – peasants could not produce enough food.
    Conscription* meant that not enough able bodied
    workers to produce food. Land also destroyed.

   Further added to dissatisfaction and created unstable
    governments.
Economic
                              
 Economic Impact 4: Decline in International trade

 Before WW 1, much of the world’s products were supplied
  through International trade. The Great Powers & US grew
  wealthy through Imperialist trade practices.

 After the war, European countries had been devastated. Their
  priority now was to resolve internal problems caused by the
  war. They were not focused on building international trade.

 This impact meant that the levels of international trade took a
  longer time to recover to pre-war levels. Countries remained
  poorer – led to even more dissatisfaction.
Buzz Break 2
                        
 Could economic impacts of the war be the reason for
  changing attitudes towards the Jews in Germany?

 Why?

Social
                              
 Social Impact 1: High mortality rate among males
    Men formed a large part of the labour force prior to the war.
     Factory work and hard physical work done by men. (F)

    After the war – male population figures dropped drastically.
     Now factories could not reopen as quickly (El)

    Example: The German economy suffered terribly during the
     war. Industrial output fell by over 40% between 1914 and 1918
     - as millions of working men had been killed in the war.

    The workforce was not physically fit enough to work as hard.

    The impact of the male deaths slowed down the rate of
     recovery in Europe.
Social
                        
 Social Impact 2: Class differences minimized
   Before WWI: Europeans - class conscious. Movement
    up the “social ladder” was not always possible.
   During the war – rich & poor fought alongside. Class
    equality more acceptable.
   Example: After the war – servants now demanded
    higher wages and the rich had to treat them better.

   This meant that class differences could no longer be
    emphasized- poorer classes demanded to be treated
    fairly.
Social
                            equality
 Social Impact 3: Greater gender
   Before the war, women confined to their roles as home-
    makers – participated very little in activities outside the
    home – low status in society.
   During & after the War – women helped to support the
    economy by working in factories – Women were capable of
    working just as the men. Raised their social status.
   Example: Based on this changed attitude towards women -
    After WW1, women in US were given the right to vote.

   The war changed the social status of women in Western
    societies.
Social
                            labour conditions
 Social Impact 4: Demands for better

   Those that had fought for their country returned and fought for
    better working conditions in workplaces.

   They did not passively accept pre-war working conditions such
    as low pay and discrimination.

   For example – many workers now formed, supported and joined
    labour unions to press for better working conditions &
    compensation.

   These demands led to a general improvement in working
    conditions. Workers in Western Countries had a greater say in
    policy making.
Essay Writing- Conclusion
                            
 Which impact is the greatest?

   After you have constructed your explanation…

   Now consider each individual factor and see which
    one is more important.

   How? - Either choose –
      Long term vs. shorter term effects
      Greatest number of effects vs smaller number of effects
Worked Example
                         were the most significant
 In my view, Economic impacts
  impacts of WW1 as it gave rise to the conditions for WW2.

 This is because European economies had been devastated
  and it took them a long time to recover. This generated
  feelings of unhappiness within these countries in
  particular, Germany.

 The long term effect of this was, poor economic
  conditions which drove citizens in Germany and Russia
  to support authoritarian governments thus setting the
  political foundations for WW 2.

  • 3. Aftermath   World War 1 ended on 11th Nov 1919 at 1100hrs GMT.  At the end of the war, this was the outcome:  Years of war: 1914-1919 (5 years)  Total number of war dead: 11,016,000  Total costs in US dollars: $196.5 billion (1990 dollar values)  Number of years between WW I & WW II: about 20 years
  • 4. The Impacts of WW I   Impacts can be divided into 3 main areas or groups:  Political  Economic  Social
  • 5. Political   Political Impact 1: Growth of smaller nation states  Old empires broken up – new nation-states formed. (F)  Based on: ethnic majorities in a particular region. (El)  US President Wilson proposed that national boundaries to be redrawn based on self-determination* (El)  For example Austria, Hungary and Czechoslovakia created from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. (Ex)  Re-drawing Europe’s map = did not create ethnic homogeneity. Led to more tensions within nations. (L)
  • 6. Political   Political Impact 2: Nationalism & Revolution  Nationalism was further strengthened after WW I as the control of old empires weakened. Revolutions in Russia and Germany. Citizens unhappy about how the war was managed. (F)  Russian Tsar was replaced by Provisional Government and in Germany Kaiser Wilhelm II was replaced by Nazi dictatorship. (El + Ex)  Colonies now exposed to ideas of self-determination. Subject peoples had a strong desire for independence. Independence movements in India and Burma. (El + Ex)  This meant strong desire for change in the political structure and governance. (L)
  • 7. Political   Political Impact 3: US adopts Isolationism  Before the War – US wanted to stay out of the political affairs of Europe – preferred to be only a trading partner.  After the war many citizens in the US continued to support isolationism - did not want US forces and personnel being drawn into another European conflict.  However another group believed that US needed to be greater involved in World affairs so that the US could extend its influence elsewhere.  The issue of isolationism still debated during inter-war period – only resolved at the start of WWII.
  • 8. Buzz Break 1  one of the political  Discuss in your teams, which factors was the most significant (important) and why?  5 mins. Remember to:  Practice FEEL  Support your answers with materials from your notes or from the Internet .
  • 9. Economic   Economic Impact 1: High national debt  Western powers were in debt caused by having to finance a very costly war. (F)  The war was very costly as both sides were forced to produce weapons and ammunition to carry on the fighting. (El)  For example: Britain, France and Germany were facing huge debts. Forced to either borrow money and financial resources from the US or raise taxes at home. (Ex)  The high debt = Europe dependent on the US for economic recovery. High taxes also caused unhappiness among citizens towards their governments. (L)
  • 10. Economic   Economic Impact 2: Inflation  Prices of necessities increased drastically as there was a severe shortage. “Too much money chasing too little products”  As a result of war – most resources channeled towards weapons & ammunitions. Difficult to re-tool. Factories destroyed – necessities could not be produced.  Inflation led to situations for example like that in Russia where although workers salaries doubled, prices of food more than doubled.  Inflation left many governments helpless in ensuring the basic needs of citizens. Citizens grew dissatisfied with their governments and easily supported radical leaders.
  • 11. Economic   Economic Impact 3: High unemployment & Shortages  Production had not started after the war – unemployment was high. Due to difficulty in re-tooling.  During the war, food & horses channeled towards the war effort – peasants could not produce enough food. Conscription* meant that not enough able bodied workers to produce food. Land also destroyed.  Further added to dissatisfaction and created unstable governments.
  • 12. Economic   Economic Impact 4: Decline in International trade  Before WW 1, much of the world’s products were supplied through International trade. The Great Powers & US grew wealthy through Imperialist trade practices.  After the war, European countries had been devastated. Their priority now was to resolve internal problems caused by the war. They were not focused on building international trade.  This impact meant that the levels of international trade took a longer time to recover to pre-war levels. Countries remained poorer – led to even more dissatisfaction.
  • 13. Buzz Break 2   Could economic impacts of the war be the reason for changing attitudes towards the Jews in Germany?  Why?  _________________  _________________  _________________
  • 14. Social   Social Impact 1: High mortality rate among males  Men formed a large part of the labour force prior to the war. Factory work and hard physical work done by men. (F)  After the war – male population figures dropped drastically. Now factories could not reopen as quickly (El)  Example: The German economy suffered terribly during the war. Industrial output fell by over 40% between 1914 and 1918 - as millions of working men had been killed in the war.  The workforce was not physically fit enough to work as hard.  The impact of the male deaths slowed down the rate of recovery in Europe.
  • 15. Social   Social Impact 2: Class differences minimized  Before WWI: Europeans - class conscious. Movement up the “social ladder” was not always possible.  During the war – rich & poor fought alongside. Class equality more acceptable.  Example: After the war – servants now demanded higher wages and the rich had to treat them better.  This meant that class differences could no longer be emphasized- poorer classes demanded to be treated fairly.
  • 16. Social  equality  Social Impact 3: Greater gender  Before the war, women confined to their roles as home- makers – participated very little in activities outside the home – low status in society.  During & after the War – women helped to support the economy by working in factories – Women were capable of working just as the men. Raised their social status.  Example: Based on this changed attitude towards women - After WW1, women in US were given the right to vote.  The war changed the social status of women in Western societies.
  • 17. Social  labour conditions  Social Impact 4: Demands for better  Those that had fought for their country returned and fought for better working conditions in workplaces.  They did not passively accept pre-war working conditions such as low pay and discrimination.  For example – many workers now formed, supported and joined labour unions to press for better working conditions & compensation.  These demands led to a general improvement in working conditions. Workers in Western Countries had a greater say in policy making.

  • 19. Worked Example  were the most significant  In my view, Economic impacts impacts of WW1 as it gave rise to the conditions for WW2.  This is because European economies had been devastated and it took them a long time to recover.
