Post-war Economies (Austria-Hungary)
The Austrian economy went through several phases in the interwar period, beginning with general post-war misery and massive currency devaluation. This article focuses on the immediate post-war period after World War One up to the end of the 1920s. The country recovered only slowly from the economic aberrations and confusions resulting from the end of the war in 1918. This was also due to the fact that hardly anyone believed in the viability of the young republic. Only very few realized that the economic conditions for an independent Austria were in place. Admittedly, the structures remained extremely fragile, as the devastating effects of the “Great Depression” finally showed.
