Document Summary
Living standards in ww1 y this war, in terms of its duration and length, required of the belligerents that if they were to be successful, the home front was very much a part of the outcome of the conflict. If prices rise dramatically than wages have to rise to keep pace. If inflation goes unchecked, it will destroy living standards y these questions are related to what brought down the russian empire food riots by women on the home front. Increasingly, the raw ingredient needed for fertilizers are being used for the war instead y you need horses. Increasingly there is machinery, but not common: this is still a horse-drawn farm sector, horses are critically to the war effort, there is a shortage of them, machinery doesn t flow to the farm sector. need the steel going elsewhere y german farm output does not keep pace with the needs and demands of the german people.
