Answer:

Women accounted for more than 40% of metalworking during the war, but at the end of the war there were 650,000 unemployed women in Britain, and the privileges of working women disappeared.

And pay for work for African Americans was diminished because the government decided to pay more to war-wounded soldiers.

Explanation:

During World War I there was great support from women and African Americans.

Most of the women forced by the situation went from being housewives to workers, activist, and nurses

And African Americans went from being simple workers to front-line soldiers.

But at the end of World War I, the economic consequences were more evident in these two groups.

Women were no longer required for jobs where multiple women were hired to replace a single man.

Furthermore, the right to vote was taken away from them.

And black soldiers saw their wages drop for supporting the front lines after the United States government decided to pay more to war-wounded soldiers.
