The German People did “Nazi” Hitler Coming

According to Abc.News, Germany had signed the debts to pay 269 million gold marks and around 96,000 tons of gold in Treaty of Versailles during 1919. The debts were unaffordable for Germans since they had also lost a lot of properties during the Great War. Followed along the debts that they had to pay to the Allies, there were the Great Depression. During 1930, the Great Depression occurs. “The total number of German workers involved in the unemployment easily reaches four million”(20,000,000 Unemployed in World," Revolutionary Age). Germans were frustrated with the government. Germans were ravenous and overwhelmed. Under this circumstances, the hopeless Germans started to believe that Hitler was the man who could bring the glory of Germany back. The propaganda poster below has shown that people were tiresome of trusting the government. The German words translated into English was “Our Last Hope— Hitler”. It indicated that Hitler was the last person as a leader they were going to believe. The poster enlarged the name “Hitler” to emphasize his importance, to attract attention, and to encourage people to join the Nazi Party.

During the 1930s. the United States faced one of the greatest economic depressions in history, known as the Great Depression. Since many people essentially manipulated the stock market to their advantage, they eventually got richer. However, on October 29,1929, the stock market crashed since so many people wanted to sell their stocks but so few people wanted to buy these products, which caused prices to collapse. This led up to issues such as banking crisis, where banks who invested so heavily on the stock market lost so much money. In fact, people who deposited money lose everything they had. In addition, factories that has overproduced goods had also lost tons of money since businesses were producing far more goods than people were consuming. All these events that led to the Great Depression. Although Franklin D. Roosevelt came into office in 1933 and released his plans known as the New Deal which were essentially government programs that provided aid to Americans, it did not change the fact that the economy was still largely suffering. Meanwhile, tensions in Europe also increased as European countries were devastated from the hard times occurring in their nation. Following totalitarianism as a political system, many European countries were led by dictators. One of the most important dictator, was German leader Adolph Hitler. Germany, who had lost a lot power and land, after the loss in World War I and the

The Jewish race is now known as a corrupt, thieving people, and makes us the public enemy. Goebbels is the cause of all of this, as the establishment of the Reich Chamber of Commerce in 1933 was started because of him. Importantly, he controls our freedom; something that was taken away from us in all forms. A product of this propaganda is the vile education system that Hitler has enforced. Education is an accomplice in destroying what is left of the opposition against the Nazis. The Nazis are aware that if they were able to cultivate and poison our youth, they would grow to become a race of obedient slaves, listening to Hitler as if his words came from God. History was reworked – the power of Germany was the only thing depicted. The German defeat in 1918 was blamed on us, the Treaty of Versailles a jealous work of Germany’s power, and the collapsing economy was apparently the fault of the Jews. Biology is now racist, and ‘proves’ why the Germans are the superior race. Another way these pigs are controlling us is simply by the use of fear. No one dears to stand against the Sturmabteilung, due to what they

By 1924, after years of crisis management and attempts at tax and finance reform, the economy was stabilised with the help of foreign, particularly American, loans. This relative "golden age" was reflected in the strong support for moderate pro-Weimar political parties in the 1928 elections. However, economic disaster struck with the onset of the world depression in 1929. The American stock market crash and bank failures led to a recall of American loans to Germany. This development added to Germany's economic hardship. Mass unemployment and suffering followed. Many Germans became increasingly disillusioned with the Weimar Republic and began to turn toward radical anti-democratic parties whose

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

In Germany the economy was especially vulnerable since it was built out of foreign capital, mostly loans from America and was very dependent on foreign trade. When those loans suddenly came due and when the world market for German exports dried up, the well-oiled German industrial machine quickly ground to a halt. As production levels fell, German workers were laid off. Along with this, banks failed throughout Germany. Savings accounts, the result of years of hard work, were instantly wiped out. Inflation soon followed making it hard for families to purchase expensive necessities with devalued money. Overnight, the middle class standard of living so many German families enjoyed was ruined by events outside of Germany, beyond their control. The Great Depression began and they were cast into poverty and deep misery and began looking for a solution, any solution. By mid-1930, amid the economic pressures of the Great Depression, the German democratic government was beginning to unravel. The crisis of the Great Depression

Germany is in fact dancing on a volcano.” But USA withdrawing their loan wasn’t an inevitability. The direness of the impact seemed to be the combination of events as Germany had just managed to recover before Stresemann died just 26 days before the Wall street crash, leaving Germany without an experienced leaders fortitude, meaning a significantly more powerful impact from the Depression for Germany politically as Brunings centre spectrum government couldn’t hold its own in November 1932 before being toppled by its polar opposites of extreme left(100 seats) and right wing Nazis who had 196 with the centre party holding only 90 seats. Economically as the key difference being the Depressions incredibly high unemployment rate, 6 million by 1933, created a ‘before and after’ psychological effect, which holds significance in the solidifying of the publics dismal mind set, therefore significant in altering Germanys ethos. Germany went from innovative and modern to economically crippled and chaotic, for many this repeated the feelings from the Treaty of Versailles which produced a similar ‘before and after’ effect, of which was Weimar's inception therefor its root association, leading the public to believe that there was a clear pattern of flaw in how Germany was run, thus turned to

<br>The stock market crash of 1929 effected practically every nation in the world. Germany was already suffering a post-war depression and was greatly effected. Hitler used the suffering of the masses to gain political support. He gained a strong following from the

In 1929 Germany was hit with the final blow to an already struggling nation; the Great Depression. Black Tuesday hit Germany in the midst of a naval blockade, extreme hyperinflation, and poverty for many Germans. Many historians believe that the blockade against Germany was the main reason for the rise of Nazism and consequently World War II. Regardless, Germany was in a time of crisis and in desperate need of salvation.

As the Nazi Party took power in the early 1930’s, the whole world was entering a depression. By the early 1930’s, fascist policy seeped into German government and brought Germany out of a deep recession. In the early 1930’s, Keynesian thought was emerging and Germany was amidst recovery from reparations for World War I and required a strong government to get them out of it. The Nazi party believed that in order to get themselves out of recession, they needed to first bring the unemployment rate down considerably. They based their ideas upon those of Keynes and believed they needed to allocate their labor to do work that would further pull the German economy out of their recession. In order for them to do this, the Nazi Party believed they needed to be in control of the whole process, to guide it. It was through their strict policy and militarization that they finally came out of it. Ultimately the Nazi Party came into power through Adolf Hitler and jumpstarted the economy to recover exponentially quicker. The Keynesian thought that propelled the German economy out of it’s recession used intense involvement by the government to stimulate the economy.

Germany's economic problems were a crucial factor in the Nazi rise to power. During the late 1920's the Nazi party had very little appeal to the normal German people and the ideologies and dogma that the Nazi party was based upon did not attract support from any specific group within the masses. This was shown by the poor results of the 1927 when the Nazi party won only 1 seat in the Reichstag. But this all changed once the world-wide depression struck in late 1929 when Wall Street collapsed thus causing worldwide economies to shatter .The depression of 1929 created poverty and unemployment, which made people angry with the Weimar government. People lost confidence in the democratic system and turned towards the extremist political parties

So despite the initial revamp from 1924 to 1929, the Wall Street Crash sent Germany back into crisis. The effects the unemployment had on Germany society was simply disastrous. Even though there was not that many food shortages, nearly half of the German population found themselves without enough money to buy food. Those who suffered the most were the children, so many died of malnutrition and general lack of food. Hundreds of industrial workers, who only a couple of years before, were getting paid a substantial amount money, were now struggling to

As a result, the Weimar Republic faced major political and economic instability, which ultimately gave rise to Hitler and the National Socialist German Workers Party. Political and economic instability paved way for the German people to look for alternative solutions to the ineffective Weimar government, particularly the Nazi Party. As the economy worsened, with the downfall and devaluation of the German mark, Nazi representation in government increased. Thus, it can be argued that the radicalization and rise of Hitler and the Nazi regime can be attributed to playing on the people's fear of instability and poverty. The Wall Street stock market crash in 1929 ultimately worsened

The rise of the Third Reiche began to surface during World War I. As the military had been greatly reduced in numbers, it barely was able to maintain coastal security for the country. Another issue Germany was inevitably faced with were financial hardships resulting in despair for its people. Almost every social class of citizens were affected. The few extremely wealthy seemed to be the only class capable of maintaining substantial ways of life. Those greatly affected included the middle and poor social classes. These classes endured their life saving dwindling away as a means of survival which was short lived. The poorest of the social classes found it difficult to afford food for their families as well as other necessities for maintaining a substantial life. Inflation initiated divisions within the nation. The Wall Street crash that occurred within the states can assume partial blame for its loans to the Germans once helped to support the German economy. As a result of the crash, many

The impact of the Great Depression in Germany was significant because it affected virtually every section of German society, and was significant both in the short and long term. The Great Depression was caused by the Wall Street Crash in the USA in October 1929. Germany was disproportionately affected compared to other European countries, as Foreign Minister Stresemann had secured loans worth millions of dollars from American banks in order to boost its economy in the 1920s, and it had an impact on Germany economically, socially and politically in the 1930s. The significance of this impact can be measured by examining the sections of society impacted, the number of people impacted and the duration. The economic impact was the first to be felt and also affected the majority of Germans, along with the social impact. However, it was the resulting political impact that would have a much greater and long-lasting effect on Germany and its population. Therefore, it was overall the most significant outcome.
