With the end of the Great War, Britain, Germany and the United States were celebrating victory over their ancient rivals, however, all of them were left wondering whether the cost really had been worth it. Millions of young men had been wiped out and the economic damage was huge. Moreover, the war, as Germany in particular had hoped, did not get rid of the problems the Central Powers faced before the war. The most important was what to do about the 'corpse empires' of Austria-Hungary and Turkey. Turkey had been of little use in the Great War and Austria-Hungary, nothing more than a hindrance. Hindenburg himself commented, "Were it not for that shack of a state that calls itself an Empire, we would have won the war in 1918, maybe even 1917. For the Democrats, the war was a disaster, already

For the Democrats, the war was a disaster, already in the 1918 elections, there were signs of dissatisfaction with Theodore Roosevelt. However, the Democrats were still confident of victory over the Socialists in the 1920 elections. They got a nasty surprise, when the Socialists were swept to power, with a large majority in the Senate and Congress. The Socialists won the next two elections in 1924 and 1928, effectively withdrawing from the world, leaving Germany and Britain as the global 'police'.
