the claim

The First World War caused the Great Depression of the 1930s.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
2 sources for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that the First World War caused the Great Depression of the 1930s?

Partly. One line of research argues Europe's post-1918 unresolved war aftermath stunted its economy, while a study of Norwegian banking crises attributes the 1930s Depression to credit and debt overheating rather than the war. Both cover only regional cases, not the global Depression's cause.
