Post WWI
WWI had a ginormous impact on Germany. All the way through the war the people of Germany thought they were winning through German propaganda. Germany was being starved without food and other goods because of the British blockade of the ports in the north.German troops were poorly equipped with weapons and any food left went to the soldiers leaving the people starving. After the war there was violence and chaos that had come by the shocking defeat and the armistice. The soldiers were angered with the government and they had lost 2 million men in the war which would harm Germany's industrial base forever. In December 1918 they were considered an economic weakness.
