Question

Why did inflation and other economic problems lead to demobilization

Answer 1

Inflation and other economic problems lead to demobilization because of the peace time in the country after the wwI, there was sudden demand of goods by the consumers and less production of the weapons in the war industries.

Explanation:

• Demobilization is the process when the military forces of the country, even if they are ready to combat are drawn down.
• This is mostly because of the peace time in the country. After the end of the WWI, the demand for goods by the people increased leading to sudden inflation.
• This led to production of the consumer goods and not war time goods. This further added to the demobilization.
• This affected the economy more and led to unemployment in the war industries.
