8. The First World War has a big impact on Germany because it led to an unstable situation. For example, politically, Germany was troubled as the working class people had little say in how the country was run and it was led through a military dictatorship by the Kaiser and his army leaders Ludendorff and Hindenburg. This would anger the people of Germany and mean that when the Kaiser abdicated they would see this as an opportunity to have their say leading to potential conflict and division within Germany.
