Sorry -- returning to this entry again.
I think that it's too vague to refer to "social ... catastrophe" -- so I have made it more explicit.

and possibly weather conditions led to severe famine. Many also died from mistreatment by
government officials. The economy, which had improved since the end of the civil war, was
devastated.
