Complete answer:
There were lots of economic inflations after WW I. It cost plenty of money for the involved countries. Germany and Great Britain had spent nearly 60% of their GDP. Countries had to raise taxes and borrow money from their citizens in order to meet the requirements.

There were a lot of political consequences as well. WW I brought an end to four monarchies which included Czar Nicholas II of Russia, Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany, Emperor Charles of Austria and also the Sultan of Ottoman empire.

Birth rates declined as millions of young men died. Civilians lost their land and moved to other countries. The roles of women also changed as they started to replace men in factories and offices.

On June 28, 1919, WWI officially ended with the signing of Treaty of Versailles. The Treaty of Versailles was an attempt to prevent the world from getting into another war. The treaty declared Germany and its allies responsible for all the loss and damage suffered and as a consequence, they were forced to pay war reparations to the victors.
> The U.S which had won the war but had not experienced the conflicts on its territory emerged as the first world power.
> The League of Nations was a global diplomatic group developed after WW I.

Note:
> Other treaties that were signed included - The Treaty of Neuilly, that was signed with Bulgaria and The Treaty of Sevres (1920), that was signed with Turkey.
> Germany, on not being able to pay the reparations in gold, had denied paying the rest of the damage. So the Allied Powers seized Germany's most working coal industrial state, 'Ruhr'.
> India supported Britain within the war but served India with the Rowlatt Act immediately after the war came as an eye-opener for Indians and soon the Non-Cooperation movement was launched.
