Analysis On The Adjustment Of German Industrial Chain And Its Social Life Standard Influence In Weimar Republic

Driven by the modern industrial development and the two industrial revolutions,Germany transformed from an agricultural country in Europe to a global industrial country after reunification.Influenced by Prussian militarism,raw material demand,product sales market demand and many other factors,before the outbreak of the First World War,the German Empire gradually put the core of its industrial chain development on the military construction,and further strengthened this construction during the war.During this period,Germany vigorously developed armaments and gradually formed an industrial chain with military industry as its core.However,the four years of war inflicted great damage to German industry: factory buildings were blown up and equipments were severely damaged;Many workers became soldiers and died in the war;The foreign blockade leads to the lack of raw materials and sales markets for industrial production;Food shortages led to strikes and industrial productivity fell.When World War I ended and peace rule,the industrial chain centering on military construction could not support the continued development of German industry and social economy after the war.Therefore,after the Weimar government came into power and under the dual influence of government regulation and market economy,Germany adjusted its industrial chain accordingly.After the Weimar government came to power,the industrial chain before the war was adjusted accordingly for the purpose of alleviating domestic material shortage and serve the needs of national life.During this period,the government took a series of measures,such as establishing relevant departments to promote the demobilization of military personnel,directing the construction of drainage projects,improving roads,etc.,improving road and so on,which promoted the development of related industries.Due to the conversion of industrial chain,which took place in the early 1920 s on the premise of basically solving the shortage of daily necessities at the beginning of the war,constant inflation led German manufacturers realize that they could get huge profits by producing industrial means of production.Driven by the market economy,the core of German industrial chain shifted to industrial means of production.after 1922,hyper-inflation appeared in Germany,culminating in 1923 with the outbreak of the Ruhr crisis.At this time,Germany’s industrial means of production lost its price advantage and could no longer compete with foreign,and the German industrial chain stagnated.After the United States implemented the Dawes Plan in 1924,the German currency was stabilized to stability and Germany realigned its industrial chain again.Satisfying the needs of national life once again became the core of the industrial chain.This was reflected in the entry of labor into factories,such as textile mills and printing houses,which produced industrial consumer goods needed to serve national life;Such as wine-making,artificial silk,power generation and transportation,electricity,gas and water supplies,electric cars,construction,common textiles,paper,glass,cellulose,petroleum,construction of road and canal works,mills,the potash industry and the chemical and pharmaceutical industries in general,the cement industry and brickworks,has experienced industrial expansion after adjustment.The development of the industrial consumer goods sector also drives the development of the industrial means of production sector.This adjustment of industrial chain adapted to the needs of post-war German society.Weimar Germany entered the "Golden Twenties" of relative stability,before the outbreak of the Great Depression,its industry had recovered and exceeded the pre-war level.As one of the main pillar industry in Germany,the industrial chain adapts to the needs of national social development and has different impacts on the macro and micro levels of German society.At the macro level,Germany’s GDP and industrial index have exceeded the pre-war level,and the unemployment rate has(decreased)fallen.At the micro level,the nominal and real wage income of German citizens have also exceeded the pre-war level.The situation of food and clothing shortage in the early period after the war was improved,and the consumption structure became richer,and the consumption power of German citizens has incresed.This shows that the adjustment of German industrial chain in Weimar Republic met the needs of postwar German society and improved the living standards of German citizens.
