Wars’ effects

Short term effects:

-Displacment of civilians.

-Destruction of energy and civilian infrastructure causing severe shortages of essential needs.

-Conscription and enlistment requiring civilians to be forced into millitary action.

-Famine and, drought due to the heavy vechiles that destroy farmland and cause dust storms.

Long term effects:

-Destruction of economic developments and infrastructure causing deficits in income and average living costs.

-Lack of infrastructure will cause existing infrastructure to be overstressed resulting in worse essential services and their quality.

-Governance over occupied regions is weaker resulting in possible rebellions and cession.

-Local goods produced in war torn regions are lowered in quality and have increased cost for production resulting in higher basic good costs.
