Economic impact, social impact, experiences of women, experiences of marginalized groups.
Define 'war economy'.
A country's production reorganized entirely around fighting a war (e.g. factories making shells instead of cars).
What were soldaderas?
Women who travelled with Mexican Revolutionary armies, cooking, nursing, smuggling supplies, and sometimes fighting or commanding troops.
Give one economic impact of the Mexican Revolution (1910-1920).
Railways, mines, and haciendas were destroyed; export agriculture collapsed; roaming armies caused local famines.

A war economy developed with rationing of food and fuel, as factories switched to producing munitions.
How many British women worked in munitions by 1918?
Nearly one million.

Colonial troops — e.g. over a million Indian soldiers and around 200,000 troops from French West/North Africa fought for European empires.
