Many of the countries that participated in WWI expected a very short war. None of them prepared economically for such a long war, such as in the case of stockpiling raw materials such as steel or iron, or stockpiling food. Two of the consequences in economic policies where the following:
- The front lines had to be channeled with male workers, and one of the economic policies used to control the cost of war was forcing women and children to work at the production of weapons and munition. It is calculated that the French and Germans fired around 10 millions shells, with a total weight of 1.4 millions tons of steel.
- Food became an issue during WWI, with severe food shortages reported in urban areas by 1915. This caused a great increase in food prices, and food riots became more common and violent. Agriculture was in the hands of women, and food had to be stockpiled.
I hope this answer helps you. Have a great day!
whether child labor should be legal in the US
Answer:
Alight then, I can do this. Global warming, first of all, global warming is caused by millions of things, car exhaust, methane, tree cutting, etc. Think about the cute little rascals over in Antarctica, the north pole, and south pole, think of them, they will have no home in the next million years if this continues. We could spread the message online, or text the president, and maybe even Jeff Bezos or the owner of Amazon, maybe a wildcat strike. Even by doing all this we may not be able to stop these tree cutters, we need to plant more trees and spread the word farther. So what do I think of America today, well simple, #Stop Tree Abuse (S.T.A). Operation S.T.A needs to be put into motion.
