Best Answer

Almost every family contributed one or more men to fight in the war. Few households didn't lose a family member to the fighting. In some cases brothers would end up on different sides of the battlefield. The lack of men proved a challenge to the continued operations of farms and factories on both sides. Many people were crippled by the war. Property was destroyed and crops ruined. Few escaped without some loss.
