An Introduction To The Nation of Germany

As stated above that Great Depression created harsh condition for Japan, it hit Germany especially hard. The country was still struggling for the recovery of the war and the loss of colonies, Germans began to look for a strong leader who could fix the country. Adolf Hitler promised to restore people’s national pride by making their country the leading nation. Hitler and his Nazi party used propaganda to spread out ideas of nationalism, he also used powerful public address system, careful staging and skilful architectural design. As an effective dictator, Hitler was at the centre of WWII in Europe and the Holocaust (genocide of about six million Jews by the Nazis during

In the early 20th century, Germany suffered from two world wars. The country was faced with World War I from July 1914 until November 1918, where German empire was defeated by Germany and Russia. In January 1933, Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany and began his reign with the Nazi party. In 1939, Germany invaded Poland and began World War II. The German Nazis fought in this war until the official surrender in 1945. Defeats in both wars caused the German economy to plunge and the standard of living reached a low point for German citizens. However

Germany became a unified country in 1871 under the leadership of Otto Von Bismarck. The separate states up until this time were independent, Prussia being the strongest and most influential, followed by Austria. There are several contributing factors to the unification of Germany, the most influential of which being the leadership of Otto Von Bismarck. The three wars that Prussia fought with Denmark, Austria and France also played significant roles in the unification of the German states. Another factor to consider is the increase in support of nationalism around Western Europe at the time, and the changes in German society. Through an evaluation of these factors and relevant sources one can

The Nazi group had a major impact on the government and influenced the decision for the next Chancellor of Germany. “...Paul von Hindenburg, had appointed Hitler Chancellor. Having won more than 37 percent of the vote in the previous year's legislative elections, Hitler's Nazi party had enough power to effectively paralyze Germany's democratic government, which had been in place since 1919,” Smith says (pg.15). This shows that Hitler's Nazi group was extremely powerful and explains how Hitler arose to power. This quote reveals that Hitler had the most power since 1919, which demonstrates how powerful Hitler will become in the future. “By the early 1930’s, Germany was in desperate shape. Its defeat in World War One and the harsh conditions imposed by the United States, Britain, and France in the 1919 Treaty of Versailles - included debilitating reparation payments to the victors - had left Germany humiliated and impoverished, with ruinous inflation eating away at its economy. The worldwide Depression that followed the 1929 U.S. stock market crash exacerbated the situation as banks

1) Germany before the Fuhrer. Germany’s defeat at the end of World War I left the nation socially, politically, and economically shattered. The reparation agreements inflicted upon Germany without its’ consent at the end of the war meant that the nation was in complete financial ruin. In the wake of Germany’s defeat, public decent climaxed on the 9th November 1918 during the revolution that took place on Berlin’s Postdamer Platz. This revolution transpired as a result of the public’s culminating discontent towards the imperial monarchy, and lasted up until August 1919, which saw the establishment of the Weimar Republic. In attempts to guide Germany out of economic

Germany was a parliamentary democracy based on the constitution that Germany was run by. The Bundesrat being part of the constitution consisted of 58 members who were elected by the state assemblies, the Bundesrat had the power in theory to the law making process and by this having this possibly the right to alter the constitution. The Bundesrat had the power to veto legislation

After world war one Germany was a part of the great depression, this hit their country hard. In 1933 the people of Germany made Hitler their president/dictator thinking they he was going to help and get rid of all their problems. Hitler told the people of Germany that he

Germany was unified by “blood and iron” in the Prussian wars before Germany was one nation. The Prussia war campaign against Denmark, Austria, and France led to the creation of the German Empire. After each victory against these countries the German Empire gained more and more territories and continuously expanded. The idea of nationalism was not only used to fuel these wars, but also afterwards in creating a limited government. In fueling these wars, the citizens were promised that a unified German Empire will lead to prosperity and peace. They were only too happy to go on the offensive and try and claim new lands in the name of their great nation. Once they had conquered these lands and claimed a small piece as a prize, they set up Kaiser Wilhelm as the Emperor on July 18, 1871. After this the Reichstag was formed as the limited government with the illusion that they could make a difference. In truth, Kaiser Wilhelm would shoot down any bill he seemed to disagree with. Also they all reported to Wilhelm and could easily be fired for causing too much trouble for them. With the German

By the flare-up of WWI in August 1914, Germany was entrenched as a noteworthy and noticeable force to be reckoned with. Such an accomplishment could be found in the nation 's modern and financial quality, abroad states, broad exchanging hobbies and its unfathomable armed force. Before the war of 1914, the

1- In 1933 when Hitler and his Nazi party came into power, German was on the tail end of a terrible depression with the rest of the world blaming them for the events of WWI. Things were looking quite bleak for the German people, but then comes Hitler, a man who sees the German people as a special people with a special destiny. Hitler and his Nazi party blamed all of Germany’s problems at the end of WWI on the Allies and weak leadership during Germany’s depression. This gave someone for Germany to blame for their problems and started to being back a sense of national pride. With Hitler in power, there would be no more industrial conflicts, Germany would be rearmed and every German would have a job.

When Hitler came to power, many things changed. After World War I, the German economy was very unstable. This was when

With the depression on top of the memory of World War I and the humiliation that brought to their country; the Germans weren’t very supportive or confident in their government. which was exactly what Adolf Hitler and his National Socialist German Workers’ Party (Nazi party) needed to get their foot in the door as a new possible ruler of Germany. Hitler was an amazing speaker, who could easily convince everyone he was a better option for their country at the time. He promised a better life out of the depression, and that he could turn Germany into the glorious country it really was. He made sure to catch the attention of everyone in the country from the extremely rich to the simple storeowners and everyone in between. The Nazi party had a rapid rise to fame, and Hitler was soon appointed chancellor, many Germans thought they had finally found their new savior who was going to save their country once and for all. But they would all soon find out they had made a huge

The Great Depression played a big role in helping the Nazi Party capture power. Many nations were suffering from the Great Depression in 1930, including Germany who had to pay for the war reparations. During this period of economic and politic crisis, the country had been easily influenced by the politics parties. They wanted someone who is capable and had what it takes to be their leader to lead them through the huge crisis that they were facing. Most Germans who are in desperate state as they wanted Germany to be like once, able to be proud of and not in such a state where they had to struggle to fulfill the almost impossible terms of the Treaty of Versailles. They considered that period as a disgraceful decade in their history. Due to

However, like many European countries, Germany eventually came under the rule of the Holy Roman Empire from 962 until the mid-17th century. But, like before, Germany proved too difficult to control, and Germany was split among 300 princes after the Thirty Year’s War. The Germanies, as it was now called, was still a part of the Holy Roman Empire, but it was by name only. After a while, though, the German people grew tired of disunity. Austria and Prussia (the largest powers of the Germanies) fought for control over the Germanies, and Prussia won. Austria pulled out of the Germanies, and until World War II Germany was unified. Germany was then divided until around 1989.

Germany, a country rich in culture and heritage, yet plagued by the fallout of World War I and World War II, has progressed to become the centerpiece of the European Union and the world’s third richest economy. The first German Empire dates back to the Roman Empire starting in the 8th century AD. During the Middle Ages the German Empire fended off many attacks against their soil from the Hungarians and the Slavs. Fighting and power struggles continued until the 1400’s, when the modern world gradually came into existence with intellectual, economic and political changes.
