Detailed explanation-1: -British elites became worried by Germany’s growing economic power and imperial ambitions, especially given the German plan to build a navy that would be as powerful as the British navy. Britain feared that Germany would use it to threaten British colonial possessions.
Detailed explanation-2: -Because so much had been destroyed during the war, many European countries were heavily in debt to the United States and could not afford to rebuild. There were shortages of food and raw materials; thousands of refugees were still homeless. Due to these difficulties, there were almost no jobs and unemployment was high.
Detailed explanation-3: -Germany lacked the necessary raw materials to make cordite (the vital propellant for bullets and shells) and explosives. Austria-Hungary was hampered by a lack of rail transport and rail infrastructure. Britain had a manpower shortage and a paucity of acetone, the key component for making cordite.
Detailed explanation-4: -Allied powers, also called Allies, those countries allied in opposition to the Central Powers (Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Turkey) in World War I or to the Axis powers (Germany, Italy, and Japan) in World War II.
