Social consequences of World War I
Is important to know in a deeply way all the different consequences that the World War I caused. We focus in the people that suffered in this war, because anything that could happen to the world in the “interwar period” has always something to do with this social consequences.
More than 9 million people were killed in the war. Between them; many parents, children, soldiers, workers, innocents, teachers, etc.
Why does this happen? Well, the countries that were involved in this war only focused on chasing and getting their principal objectives. They never care about how many live were lost in the several battles, or how much their disaster would cost; “they never give up until someone won”. This “European conflict” starts introducing more countries that were affected by the war, and this led them lose control of the situation and start taking bad decisions and make serious mistakes that finally they were not favorable and it would affect them.
Many children became orphans, and by having no protection and care, they also die. In addition, the worker’s (males) families die because they don’t have enough goods and food to survive, or they became poor. By losing workers, the industries present a crisis, and the productivity would decrease.
Many soldiers were killed in the war, naturally; but it is something (lamentable) that a lot of people died because of a war, thinking about their families and work. Many innocents, that has nothing to do with the war died because they were close to a battle.
