Which statement accurately describes the consequences of World War I on liberal states?

A) Liberal states, such as France and England, foreshadowed the future fascism.
B) The war transformed previously liberal states into managers of a militarized economy that used forced labor for the production of weapons and ammunition, in clear disregard for individual freedoms.
C) The war economy led to an unprecedented state interventionism; the 'sacred union' was invoked in favor of serious restrictions on civil and political liberties, and as a result of the recently ended war, serious economic difficulties erupted in 1920 that shook liberal countries, especially through inflation.
D) Defeated in World War I, the major liberal powers were therefore powerless to contain the communist and fascist challenges that followed.
E) Germany was primarily responsible for the arms race and, consequently, for the start of the war. Threatening European peace, it sought to arm itself indiscriminately in relation to other countries, thus leading to the inevitability of the conflict.
