Not too good truth be told.\n\nAfter World War One the rest of the world really screwed germany. They made all kinds of outragous claims on German lands and money. The economy was in the crapper and the politics of the day were doing nothing to change the situation. \n\nThere were millions with out work and inflation was sometimes 700% a day. Money had no real meaning and the masses were living under the boot of the Allies.\n\nThen in 1932 all hell broke loose.\n\nWhen the Nazi party came into power the first things they did was tell the allies to kiss off. They rebuilt their army and restored a national pride. These things helped feed the people and get the country back up on it's feet. \n\nI have been told that you would not worry about the politcs of the man who feeds you when you are starving. And the Nazi rule in Germany showed this.\n\nWhen you are full, happy and have your pride you can do much. And they did. But as history shows things got WAY out of hand and the now proud people were lead to a very scary place by some very scary people.\n\nTaking Cezch was easy and the invasion of poland wasn't that hard. But what was to come was a real wake up call for the world.\n\nSo the 1930's was a great time of change in Germany. In those 10 years germany would go from a beaten nation steped on and looted by the world to a superpower that almost took over europe.

actually,  world war 1 began with the assassination of arch duke franz ferdinand of austria hungary.  germany had been itching to start a war with russia and austria hungary had been itching to start a war with serbia - russia and serbia were allies and germany and austria and hungary were allies.\n\nthe austrian/hungarians accused the serbians of plotting to kill the arch duke and attacked serbia.  russia joined the war against austria/hungary and germany joined the war on austria hungary's side.\n\nso at the beginning it was serbia and russia against germany and austria/hungary.\n\nfrance then joined because they were allies with russia and england joined because they thought it was wrong that germany and austria were attacking france through neutral belgium.\n\nthe united states of america joined the war in 1917 because germany was sinking us cargo ships heading for england.\n\nbut russia pulled out of the war in 1917 because of riots in the country and because the socialists took over the government.\n\nso before 1917 it was:  germany and austria/hungary versus:  britain, france, italy, russia and serbia\n\nfrom 1917 to 1918, when the war ended it was: the us, france, england, italy versus: germany and austria-hungary (serbia was defeated early on and knocked out of the war as was the case with russia)\n\nthe war was characterized by TRENCH WARFARE.  after germany had some incredible success at the beginning, both sides dug into long trenches and not much happened until the US entered the war.  by 1917 germany was falling apart economically and the american soldiers were helping to overrun german trenches.  germany surrendered on november 11, 1918.\n\nfor your report you can use this information but also include some major battles.\n\ngood luck.\n\ndan

I think like most of Europe between the wars, France had a lot of economic woes. They had gained Alsace-Lorraine back from Germany after losing the territory in the 19th century which was a moral boost. Still, the country was in great debt. As a matter of fact, I've actualy read that France still hasn't entirely paid back to the US money it borrowed during WW1.You have to understand, most of World War 1 actually took place on French soil so they had heavy losses- both economic and in terms of life.\n\nI think much of this set the stage for french defeat in World War 2. They didn't want another  long war and quickly gave up.

The industrialisation of warfare had a great impact on World War I. Your essay should explore:\n\n* use of modern factories to meet the need of the combatants on the field and logistics - one of the reasons Russia dropped out was the failure to meet demands of the troops for example;\n\n* use of railways to transport troops to the front;\n\n* use of modern technology such as aircraft and tanks for the first time - it was their use in an integrated manner by  Allied commanders such as Sir John Monash of Australia that would eventually lead to victory in 1918;\n\n* growing role for Government: Government's share of GDP exceeded 50% in Germany and France and appraoached that in the UK and introduction of higher tax systems such as income tax to finance the war.

Be sure to click a few of the links in each section because the different parts of the wars are on different pages.\n\nBoth wars were massive scale, so there are pages focused on different parts and who was involved.\n\nHope this helps you out!

That's easy. The aftermath was world war 2.\n\nWell, economic depression, the rise of Adolf Hitler, the extermination camps, etc..\n\nSome historians say that actually world war one and two are just an expanded period of great changes.

Here are some sites dedicated to WWI.  Any library should have some good books that will give you the information you need.  Any history book that covers that time period might be a good place to start. \n\nGood luck with it.

WW1 ended with the Treaty of Versailles.  The terms of the Treaty imposed harsh conditions on Germany.  Germany could not have a standing army, land was taken from Germany and the German nation was forced to pay huge sums in reparations.  The enconomy was experience hyperinflation.  This is where the money loses its value, almost to the point of being worthless.  People would ask to be paid at noon so they could run out and spend it---because by the end of the day their pay would only be worth half as much.  There are pictures of men pushing wheelbarrows FULL of German money down the street.\n\nHitler was a WW1 hero.  He saw the problems that Germany was facing under the unjust terms of the Versailles treaty.  He saw the wreck the economy was in.  There were no jobs for German citizens in the private sector, so Hitler created huge government projects that employed millions of Germans.  As the people went back to work, their apathy dissipated.  Hitler gained even more power, and in time was able to repudiate the Versailles Treaty and raise an army.\n\nthis is just the tip of the iceberg.  Read and study more about pre-WWII Germany.

No.  WWI was long over by the 30's.\n\nWWII? Maybe.  Very difficult to say.  I think that delayed is more likely.
