2. Name the THREE European powers exhausted and ruined by war.

1.The war brought an abrupt end to four great European imperial powers.2. The German, Russian, Austrian-Hungarian, and Ottoman Empires each evaporated. 3. It was a largely peaceful century, with no wars between the great powers, apart from the 1854–1871 interval, and some small wars between Russia and the Ottoman Empire.

Hope this helped :).
