Costs of the War

Lives 8.5 Million soldiers lost their lives in WWI 21 Million were wounded

Mobilization

Losses by Country Averages per day:2,533 killed9,121 wounded 1 out of every 10 French citizens were killed or injured

Estimated Civilian Deaths 2.5 to 4.5 Million

Money Total Costs of WWI= $338 Billion Germany lost the most with $210 Million But the US gained the most $475 Million The general rule of thumb- If you were deeply involved you lost money, if not you gained $$$

Colonial Forces Fought for the French and the British with the hope that they would be granted independence. If Africans and Asians were “good enough to fight and die in the Empire’s cause, they were good enough to have a share in the government of their countries.”

Influenza Pandemic of 1918 Killer of 20 Million World Wide!!!

League of Nations Set to mediate (talk though) problems between nations What did Nations do before the League? Thought up by Woodrow Wilson Brought to life by the Treaty of Versailles But the US never joins because of political differences between the President and the US Congress.

Age of Uncertainty Before the war most people felt that western culture/society was developing in all the right ways (democracy, industrialization, diplomacy) and moving towards perfection. But the war destroyed all this… Why???

The Lost Generation Millions were severely wounded and could not work Millions were depressed over loss of loved ones Millions were haunted by the War Anger towards the institutions that promise glory and victory in the war –Nation-States (Government, Politicians) –Media (propaganda) –Church (god is on our side) –Business (arms manufacturers, shippers)

Artists Break from the old ways New ways to look at paintings, architecture, clothing, music and entertainment
