Germanys list of problems at this time was only growing. Losing WW1 caused many problems in itself as one might expect, never mind the Treaty of Versailles that was to follow. The most prominent socio-economic effects were most naturally the casualties, 2 million Germans were killed and a further 6 million were injured, also the increasing number of civilian deaths due to hypothermia and starvation. The reason these deaths increased, was due to food and fuel shortages caused by the cold winter of 1916-17. In these winter months there were signs of the country’s morale and unity breaking, it was not helped when Germany was hit with an influenza epidemic, wiping out 20-40 million, the resistance to the disease was lowered due to decline in living conditions.
In the short story “For Esmé-With Love and Squalor”, J.D. Salinger beautifully portrays the transformation in a man from a humble soldier to a depressed veteran. At the start of the story, Sergeant X is an all around average man ready to help his country and invade the Axis power during World War II. Once he meets Esmé, a young girl in a British tea room, she instills within him the hope to carry on from tragedy. When tragedy strikes Sergeant X just six weeks later it is that same courage Esmé showed that helps X to recover from his depression.
After the Black Saturday bushfires, many people died and many properties were destroyed, causing grief to the owners, friends and family of them.

Moreover, in autumn, 50 percent of the enterprises closed down in important industrial centers, leading to mass unemployment, while the wost of living increased severely.
