It was a much better life before the war had started, because lots of people had died during the war. There was also Imperialism going on which means one country taking over Another Country's land or government.

From 1916 till the of the British naval blockade on 28 June 1919 (the date when the Treaty of Versailles was signed) there was a shortage of food. The German government estimated about 765,000 deaths from malnutrition in the period 1914-1919. (Talk of 'a million babies killed by the British' between the armistice in November 1918 and the signing of the treaty are Propaganda). Despite inflation in the early 1920s the German economy made a reasonable recovery. Poverty was most marked and widespread: * In 1923-1924. This includes the period when the French (and Belgians) occupied the Ruhr - Germany's key industrial area - and the Germans retaliated with a general strike and with total non-cooperation with the occupying forces. The stabilisation of the currency late in 1923 also required massive deflation. * In 1930-33. Germany was hit immediately and very severely by the effect of the Great Crash. From 1933 on rearmament played a key role in overcoming the Great Depression.

As far as financial poverty, the soldiers came home from the war to find the country in economic distress. Posters were hung all over telling employers to hire soldiers, although jobs were very few and far between.

What is the definition of poverty?

There is no common definition for poverty that is accepted by all countries and organisations. Generally poverty refers to material deprivation and the state of being deficient in means of subsistence. What is more useful in defining poverty is to look at different measurements of poverty which is used. For example, the United Nations use the Human Poverty Index to rate the poverty of a country. There is also the Multidimensional Poverty Index used by the World Bank. Another measurement or index used is the Human Development Index, as well as the Human Deprivation Index. To complicate this further some measurements also focus on one aspect or group, like the Gender Poverty Index, the Gender Development Index or the Water Poverty Index. All of this shows that defining poverty is extremely complex as there is still no agreement on what poverty is exactly.
