What effect did ww1 have on the economy?

Answer 1

there are different aspects that divided the economy in ww1. the first reason was conscription; this was a term given to a law that was attempted to be made in ww1 times. if approved it meant that all men from 18-up would be forced to go to war. a lot of people disagreed with this and so the economy was split in to agreers and disagreers of conscription. another reason was 'the white feather'. if a man did not go to war willingly he would usually be sent a white feather which symbolises cowardliness. some people agreed with the white feather and some people didn't so again this caused a division of economy. some people disagreed with war completely which would have caused debates.
