Question

How did world war 1 hurt business in Europe even after the war

Answer 1

It did because the men went to war and some did not come back there for their work did not get done and put people out of business.

Answer 2

Post-war, all of the combatants were rather weighed down by large amounts of debt they had accumulated during the war. This, combined with rapid overproduction of currency, caused hyperinflation and doomed global economies, later leading to the Great Depression.
