About this listen
In this episode, we talk about the consequences of World War I across geopolitics, economics, technology, and culture. We explain how the Treaty of Versailles imposed territorial losses and reparations on Germany, how the war redrew borders across Europe and the Middle East, and how mandates in Syria, Iraq, and Palestine replaced Ottoman rule under British and French control. We cover the collapse of global grain trade, the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918–1919, the rise of PTSD (then called “shell shock”), and the spread of fascism and communism in the interwar period. Finally, we explain how WWI laid the structural, ideological, and psychological groundwork for World War II—and why peace was never the outcome.
