Conditions in World War 1

Answer 1

Germany lost to the Allied Powers. The Allied powers blamed Germany for The Entire WWI, causing German Economy Fall. With this Fall of German economy, Hitler was able to rise to power promising a Better Economy if they Took it all from the Jews. This caused WWII. (Little bit of Odd info: Hitler's Grandmother was Jewish. And Hitler was Brown Haired with Brown Eyes)

Answer 2

I assume you are asking about conditions on the 'home front'. Throughout WW1 Germany was subject to a British naval blockade and short of food and fuel. Some malnutrition was widespread during the war, but people weren't starving. A special government department set up soon after the outbreak of war, the Reichswirtschaftsamt (RWA) - the Reich Economic Department - was very successful in harnessing the German economy to the war effort. (It was headed by Walther Rathenau, who later became Foreign Secretary in the Weimar Republic). There was a political truce between the parties in the Reichstag, and it wasn't till 1917 that it began to crack. Serious labour unrest in Germany didn't begin till January 1918, and did not last very long. Towards the end of the war, more serious cracks began to emerge, both on the Western Front and in Germany itself. An irrational order to the German Navy to engage in a kind of suicide mission against the British Navy triggered a mutiny (in late October and early November 1918). This soon developed into more general, wider unrest and the various German monarchs had to abdicate. The remarakable thing wasn't the unrest late in 1918, but rather the fact that Germany had succeeded in holding out successfully for over four years against overwhelming odds. Joncey

Answer 3

The conditions in world war one were dreadful because there was men laying everywhere you were infested in lice and there was always the fear of death.

You also had to deal with the gunfire that was getting shot everywhere, the shrapnel shells that the germans were throwing, no-mans land, doing your job or getting shot, you also had to deal with the fact that your friends were dying just beside you.

Answer 4

At the trenches, they had horrible conditions.

Their hygiene was a really big problem. They had to go to the bathroom, but their wasn't any bathroom, only a small lavatory but this couldn't be used because of the enemies who could strike behind on you. Rats were a really big problem, they ate dead bodies and sometimes they knibbeled on the toe or ear of a sleeping soldier. Lice were a big problem too, they could make you sick and were annoying. The smell in the trenches was horrible because of the dead bodies, their body smell and all the other things made it worse.

Their food wasn't any better, the soldiers thought that they would be back before Christmas, so there was food enough until then. After that, they gained less and less food. Over 300,000 men were cooking for them, but the soldiers never got their food really hot.

Diseases like trench foot were also common and most of the people who died at the war died from an injury or a disease.

Answer 5

Conditions in Germany post WW1 were aggravated by the reparations demanded by the Allies, specifically, the other European allies. Europe and Germany would have recovered much sooner, and probably Hitler would not have risen to power were it not for the imposed and sever reparations. After WW2 president Truman and other U.S. leaders decided, based on the post WW1 experience, not to impose the post war taxes for reparation on the German people as thy did in post WW1, and just look at the prosperous German nation now!
