Post-World War I

Post-World War I, known as the interwar period, was a time of rebuilding and change. After the massive conflict, many countries faced economic hardship, social upheaval, and political instability. The Treaty of Versailles in 1919 aimed to punish Germany and reshape European borders, but it also sowed tensions that contributed to future conflicts. This era saw significant technological advances, cultural shifts, and movements toward democracy, but also the rise of radical ideologies. Throughout the 1920s and early 1930s, countries struggled to recover, setting the stage for World War II.
