I want to know the answer to the following question:
What world event caused the end of Claridge's company?
All the background I'm provided with is that "The failure of Clarmac Roads Ltd had a flow-on effect to Claridge's Company, which was itself compulsorily wound up, ceasing operations in 1917, having invested a substantial amount of funds into the new venture, both at the outset, and in a subsequent attempt to save the Clarmac Company.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
