The economic toll was not only evident in the Allies and Powers but also in the defeated nations of World War I, Germany, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Because of the so-called subcontractor factory model, Germany's Industry had seen a resurgence over a period, having reached the scale of Germany's Industry in 1905.
Although there was still a gap compared to the pre-war industrial scale, compared to the horrifically restricted state post-war, Germany had at least seen a revival in the industrial sector.
Similarly apparent was the case with the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Although the Austro-Hungarian Empire lost Hungary, the industrial core remained in Austria and Bohemia.
The current industrial scale of the Austro-Hungarian Empire had recovered to the levels of 1910, and apart from the loss of Hungary, their situation was much better than that of Germany.
