Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

World War I witnessed European governments gradually take full control of all aspects of their economies. The war led to the need for increased production of war materials and investments in technology and transportation. Governments began to take control of industries such as coal, steel, and munitions, and ultimately had a significant impact on the entire economy. This led to a trend towards socialism and government involvement in the economy that continued even after the war ended.
