Expert Answer
Change in World Politics
The peace treaties signed after the First World War dramatically altered the political map of the world, and Europe in particular. Three grand old dynasties of Europe were destroyed.
The Romanov dynasty of Russia was dethroned during the war itself.
The Hohenzollerns of Germany and the Hapsburgs of Austria-Hungary too were dethroned.
Soon after the conclusion of the war, the Ottoman Empire of Turkey too ceased to exist.
Austria and Hungary became separated and so did Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia.
Multicultural and multi-ethnic Empires came to an end and in their place largely culturally and ethnically homogenous nation states emerged.
These included Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Yugoslavia. Alsace and Lorraine were returned to the French and Schleswig-Holstein was returned to Denmark.
Impact on India
The War created a new economic and political situation :
It led to a huge increase in defence expenditure which was financed by war loans and increasing taxes, customs duties were raised, and income tax introduced.
Through the war years, prices increased – doubling between 1913 and 1918 – leading to extreme hardships for the common people.
Villagers were called upon to supply soldiers, and the forced recruitment in rural areas caused widespread anger.
The First World war gave a boost to the Indian industries. Since textile industries in Britain began to supply goods related to the War like uniforms, shoes and racksags, the Indian industries took advantage of the void and bagan to manufacture the cloth.
