Impact of WWI on Germany


Make a list of the challenges facing Friedrich Ebert when he became the leader of Germany following the abdication of Kaiser Wilhelm II on Nov. 9, 1918.

Organize the challenges as follows:

Political Challenges
there were many changes in the political system in Germany it had changed to a unstable democracy. many people felt they were betrayed by the government.




Social Challenges
The war caused huge differences in the rich and poor social classes. Also many people felt that having woman work in factories while men were out fighting in the war shook up the normal life in Germany before the war. People working in factories did not like that hey could only make a certain amount while the factories owner had no limit on the amount of money they could make.  



Economic Challenges
the nation income of the country was down by tow thirds. many people were widowed meaning a lot of money was going to the families of the peoples who died in the war. Finally the industrial production was down by one third since the war had started.
