One of the most important indicators affected by war is Gross Domestic Product (GDP), which measures the total value of goods and services produced by a nation. When war begins, economic activity often collapses, infrastructure is destroyed, and government spending shifts heavily toward military needs. But the economic story does not end when the war stops. The period after war can be equally challenging and sometimes surprisingly transformative.

Which War Caused More Destruction: World War I or World War II?
The two largest conflicts in modern history are World War I (1914–1918) and World War II (1939–1945).

Millions of soldiers and civilians lost their lives, cities were destroyed, and economies collapsed.
