During the tumultuous period of the Great Galactic War, spanning from 3681 BBY to 3653 BBY, the Galactic Republic was plunged into a deep economic depression. This crisis significantly undermined the government's ability to effectively wage war against the encroaching forces of the Sith Empire. Following the war's end and the subsequent enactment of the Treaty of Coruscant, the Republic struggled to recover from this economic downturn. Consequently, its post-war reconstruction efforts were severely impeded. This depression persisted not only throughout the duration of the Cold War but also extended into the subsequent Galactic War.
