<< review queue entry 40009 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> 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. Wp ~ The failure of agricultural policies, the movement of farmers from agricultural to industrial work, 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. |
