After the First World War, Germany was placed in an incomplete nationality mainly due to political conflicts before the war, domestic negligence during the war, and the influence of the Versailles Treaty. In the next decade, Germany experienced many economic, social and political difficulties. The country lost most of its land, including its important mining sites, and its troops characterized by Rheinland's non-militarization fell sharply. In addition to the collapse of the German pride after the war, the country was also plagued by overinflation and unemployment.
After the First World War, Germany was deprived of all colonies and was 13.3% smaller in the territory of Europe than his predecessor. Most of these losses include states that were originally Polish, and Alsace-Lorraine occupied by Germany in 1870. Some or some. Under the great pressure of France in 1920, Saar was separated from the line region and managed by the Federation until the referendum in 1935, the area returned to the German Empire. At the same time, in 1920 the Eupen and Malmedy areas were relocated to Belgium (see the Belgian German community). Shortly thereafter, France occupied Rhineland completely and tightly controlled all important industrial areas.
The outbreak of the First World War in 1914 disrupted the investment of the UK and other European countries in Latin America and the international economic order disappeared. After the First World War, German trade relations with Latin America were staggered, the UK experienced great losses, making America the dominant position. During the First World War (1914 - 18), Latin American Americans did not identify the parties to the conflict, but the Germans tried to attract Mexico to join the alliance. The only country that has entered the conflict is Brazil, this is an example of the United States, declaring war against Germany. Despite the spread of neutrality, European countries have focused on war rather than overseas investment due to the transatlantic transport turmoil, all regions suffered from trade and capital flows.
