How did World War 1 hurt business in Europe even after the war?

Asked by Anonymous

Answer (3)

Post-war, all of the combatants were rather weighed down by large amounts of debt they had accumulated during the war. This, combined with rapid overproduction of currency, caused hyperinflation and doomed global economies, later leading to the Great Depression.

it did because the men went to war and some did not come back there for their work did not get done and put people out of business.

World War I hurt business in Europe after the war through massive debt, hyperinflation, disruption of the labor market, heavy reparations imposed on Germany, and global economic instability. These factors led to long-term economic challenges, including unemployment and decreased trade activity. The consequences of the war ultimately contributed to the broader economic downturn known as the Great Depression.
