Nearly two years after the end of World War I, there was no sign of economic recovery in Europe.
Relatively speaking, the British Empire's economy showed slight growth compared to the pre-war era, but this did not mean that its economic situation was good.
On the contrary, with socialist ideas spreading in the world, the effects on the British Empire were devastating, explaining why the British Empire tried to hinder the growth of the Soviet Union.
The Soviets exercised enormous influence on workers worldwide, with related movements being established in various countries, significantly impacting their political climates.
As large numbers of soldiers began to retire and countries decided to downsize their military industries, an unemployment surge emerged in all combatant nations, with Germany and France hit the hardest.
