World War I destroyed much of Europe. The money, time, and manpower needed to rebuild the war-torn continent was massive. The consequences of efforts to rebuild Europe and establish peace led to the rise of dictators in several European countries and, eventually, World War II.

Match the problems for European countries following World War I to their effects.

The victorious countries in World War I chose to severely punish Germany with harsh fines and loss of land.

The borders of many countries were disputed after the war, and many people were displaced.

There were not enough skilled workers to rebuild Europe quickly after World War I.

Thousands of homes, farms, cities, factories, and industries were destroyed and needed to be rebuilt after the war.

Problems

Effects

World War I was the first total war, meaning that civilians were targeted with destructive new weapons, such as bombs, tanks, and landmines.

The treaty that ended the war divided land to break up old empires and punish losing countries. It gave some land to the winning countries and used other land to create new countries.

There was lingering distrust and hard feelings between countries, and many Europeans felt that Germany should be blamed for the war.

Over 16 million people are estimated to have died in World War I from various war-related causes.
