Detailed explanation-1: -Large amounts of physical capital were destroyed through six years of ground battles and bombing. Many individuals were forced to abandon or give up their property without compensation and to move on to new lands. Periods of hunger became more common even in relatively prosperous Western Europe.
Detailed explanation-2: -Rural families struggled and many succumbed to poverty. This created social problems which colonial governments were not equipped to deal with, and Europe was too distracted with the war to lend much of a hand. Ultimately, this lead to weakened colonial systems.
