The 20th century prior to the Great War saw Aumiers in a period of decline. The growth of railways and highways decreased river traffic, diverting goods to other transportation corridors and markets. The economy of Aumiers had always been based more on tourism, trade, and financial services than on manufacturing, but the city's relatively small manufacturing sector also shrank after the [[Great War]], relocating further inland. After the Great War, the city began to see an upturn in population and its economy once more as many whom had been enlisted in the military returned home. The city was a major component of Cartadania's post-war baby boom. | The 20th century prior to the Great War saw Aumiers in a period of decline.
