What was an immediate result for Japan after World War I? A. A weakened military B. A slower economy C. A boosted economy D. Less territory controlled by Japan

Answer 1

Answer: B. A slower economy

Explanation:

The impact of World War I on Japan was significant.

Opposite to the prewar deficit era, Japanese external trade expanded quickly. However, the extension of loans to several allies and China, through the Nishihara loans, eventually led to the downfall of the Terauchi cabinet. Altogether, the 1920s Japanese economy was characterized by several crises and the reorientation into a mostly American-led order.
