Immediately afterworld war, how were conditions in japan different from conditions in germany

After Germany’s defeat in World War 1, they were economically devastated. Due to the Treaty of Versailles, Germany was forced to pay 33 billion US dollars to France and Great Britain. They were also forced to give up 13% of their land. The country greatly suffered, and attempts to recover from the war by a way of social spending ultimately left them even more vulnerable. At this time, Germany was at its weakest and most vulnerable point.
However, World War 1 had the opposite effect on Japan. They grew economically both during the war and after. During the 1920’s, after the war, Japan moved towards more democratic political beliefs and Western values. Greater gender equality, freedom of speech, and an expansion of education was implemented soon after the war.
In conclusion, the end of the war had opposite effects on both nations. While the effect on Germany was rather negative and caused them to suffer deeply, the effect on Japan was extremely positive, as the nation and society thrived.
