Probably no one has that insight. No doubt some will emerge right, by virtue that every option has been mentioned.

After 1918...didn't we have the roaring 20's? Can we hope for that scenario? I know WWI also ended

After 1918 a major part of the population was dead and cities were destroyed.

It's hard to fathom how much destruction there was. Have a look at this aerial view of a village before and after artillery fire. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e5/Passchen...

Of course there was growth afterward to rebuild and repopulate. This is nothing like the current crisis that doesn't destroy homes and hardly kill anybody.
