3.Economy and
Society during the war: from the 1914 to 1918, the demands
Of the war had a dramatic impact on the economies and societies of the
Participants.*The war economy: in countries that were at war, most
Economic activity was directed towards the military effort. Industry concentrated
On producing supplies and equipment for the armed forces, including food,
Uniforms…many recent inventions were also used in the war, such as the
Telephone, the telegraph,armoured tanks, aeroplanes, submarines, grenades and
Poison gas. At the same time, the production of consumer goods decreased
Because there weren´t enough workers in the factories. People received books of
Ration tickets that they could exchange for limited quiantities of rationed
Goods. Some people also bought and sold things on the black market. *Social
Effects of the war: during the war, men were conscripted or recruited into
The armed forces. In European countries and their colonies, advertisements were
Often used to encourage patriotism and convince more young men to enlist in the
Armed forces.
