How Did World War 1 Cause The Great Depression?

While World War I didn't directly cause the great depression of the 30s, there is no doubt that it was the catalyst.

The cost of WWI was vast for most countries as they attempted to pick up the pieces and rebuild following four years of conflict during which more industrial activity was put into the war efforts, vast amounts of casualties also created a gap in the labour force.

As countries struggled to rebuild and repay their wartime debts, times became tough with people realising that the freedoms that they had fought for during the conflict weren't quite matching up with the realities that they encountered on their return.

The cost of repaying the war debts was proving crippling for many economies which in turn affected the demand for consumer goods. When these events came to a head in 1929, it created the Wall Street Crash when fortunes were lost as reality brought the stock market to its knees. Whole businesses and industries virtually wiped out in the course of a week.

After the crash came, countries attempted to pick up the pieces with millions left unemployed and unable to feed and clothe their families due to the lack of jobs.

Within 12 years of the war ending, many of the heroes were discovering that their bravery of the battlefield and in conflict was of no use as they had mouths to feed and homes to sustain.

The cost of WWI wasn't felt immediately, but with economies suppressed and demand falling it was inevitable that a depression would follow. Although there was more than a decade between events, there is a very definite time line between the two events that confirms that if it hadn't been for WWI the depression of the 30s wouldn't have happened.

Many jobs were created during the war effort, like to produce supplied needed for the soldiers.
When the war ended, those jobs weren't needed anymore and soldiers were also returning to the United States. Everyone wanted jobs, but there were none available, which sent the employment rate skyrocketing

The Great Depression was a period of worldwide economic downfall and recession. It started in 1929 and lasted until a large part of the 1930's. The event was sandwiched between the two World Wars, which hit the industrialised countries of the world in general, and the United States in particular, the hardest. There was widespread unemployment and rampant poverty and homelessness all over the United States. The construction industry virtually came to a grinding standstill. Agriculture, which was the mainstay of the rural areas, suffered a great blow as the prices of crops fell by more than half. People engaged in such occupations as mining and logging were also virtually rendered poor and homeless.

World War I, which began in 1914 and ended four years later, had already made a deep impact on the economies of the world, and the world at large, and the United States in particular, was not able to recover from the major global economic crisis until the end of the Second World War in 1945.

World War 1 caused th eG.D. Because it took a huge toll on america and then the stock market crashed and made it worse and then stupid bankers decided to lend money to Europe, but we didn't have any money to lend so we went even farther into debt and the G.D.!

WW1 had a big part in the Great depression. The US did not even enter the war until the last year. For 3 years prior to that we sold everything to everybody, most men and a large number of women were in the military. The people at home had plenty of work because there was plenty of buyers. After the war, over 5 million soldiers were out of work and the people at work lost their largest clients. At the same time businesses and utility companies could charge what ever they wanted. Government was geared toward the well being of businesses not the people.(probably the same as today)

The war did not cause the depression. Uncontrolled and unregulated actions of banks and investment companies caused the failure of the stock market. The passing of the Glass/staegal act of 1939 separating the activities of banks and investment companies rectified the problem, which lasted until it was repealed by Bill Clinton, which has caused the financial mess we are in today.

During the great depression, how did it effect; women, blacks, and (mexicans-repatriation)?

It was the gold Standard system that spread the great depression from Europe(a depression caused by WWI) To the rest of the world

The US expanded its money supply in the 20s to help the UK return to its pre-war gold standard. This fueled an asset bubble (which may have occurred anyway, but not to the same extent).  When it burst, the damage might have been more contained to the US, but WWI destroyed a large portion of Europe's capital stock which made it highly dependant on capital from the US.  When this evaporated, Europe's economies also collapsed alongside the US.

The great depression was caused by world war 1 because there was so mud

This is because hitler was in the opening act of all. The depression actually started in 1925, cause mining and logging to be the worst of all. Go to my email. Ill tell you more
