Before, demobilization on troops were made by deactivating their units. Those who were overseas were immediately allowed to go home. Unfortunately, they unknowingly brought home diseases from other countries which infected the people they encountered upon coming home. Aside from contracting infectious diseases, the vast majority of the demobilized units added to unemployed labor force giving rise to unemployment rates and other economic hurdles.

And thats the start of WWI
