Essay France Interwar

The different countries that where in World War 1 most of the countries where very affected, mainly in their economy. Like United States had a better economy after World War 1, but suddenly United States economy went decreasing. It is known as the black Tuesday, because the stock and marketing had a decrease in economy. France economy was very bad each time it was descending more, and in the 1930 and 1931 it was getting better but after that it started to descended again it was very bad. Italy's economy was very bad as well.

France was quite successful at the world war 1, because it was a victorious war, therefore France lost a lot of men, 1.5 million of innocent people whose lives were taken away. Though they achieved a victory, France will never recover from that blow, since it started affecting in a notorious way. There was a decline in economy also, and when France was asked to pay for the war damages, they did nothing to pay back. Therefore government chose Germany as the one who was paying all the expenses and damages from the war, and this was determinate in the Versailles Treaty.
Stalin in UK- I believe that Stalin had qualities that would’ve been better for UK’s economy after the war. Fascism was maybe not exactly it, but almost. He needed to raise the people’s hopes and learn how to control their madness. I understand that the government needed to reduce the work, but not working at all was horrible. His Five Year Plans might have actually had a really good result in the United Kingdom, since people needed to recover from the Great Depression and industries were completely closing. People needed to feel safe economically, and that’s what Stalin might have provided.
