Throughout the 1930’s Germany was lauded for the Nazi achievement in ending the Depression, being regarded as an economic miracle. An important economic dimension to the bolstering of Hitler’s war efforts and the effects of the burgeoning annihilation of the Jews was to impoverish all Jews and promote the ideology of Nazi government. Thus, the procurement of gold became essential to the Third Reich’s seizure of power.
Adolf Hitler was seen by most to be a forceful European leader, this being one reason, that by 1935, Nazi policy fundamentally ended the depression. Hitler had been deliberate from the beginning in implementing a considerable rearmament program that would put Germany back to work. The increased spending for rearmament initially
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
A different area of failure in terms of economics was the ‘Guns versus Butter’ in 1936. The Nazis wanted to concentrate on rearmament but arms industries needed to import materials such as copper, aluminium, rubber and petrol. On top of all this, Germany
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.
One of the most severe worldwide economic downturns in history is known as the great depression. Numerous amount of issues and problems were taken place between the years of 1929-1939. The great depression brought a rapid rise in unemployment, bank failure, and much more. Despite the wide range of issues, Franklin D Roosevelt was actually concerned about the depression. Roosevelt's response to the great depression was very effective because he had launched the new deal, due to the uprising problems and issues of the great depression.
Hitler's skills are also linked to the Treaty of Versailles because he always spoke about it in his speeches. It's linked to the Economic depression as well because the people wouldn't have had listened to Hitler if there was no economic crisis, they would have no reason to, as they wouldn't need to turn to anyone for help. The economic disaster was linked with many causes one of them being the decision by Papen and Hindenburg to appoints Hitler as chancellor in 1933, because of the chaos in Germany after the economic depression the government didn't no what to do. They needed a scapegoat to get them out of the picture.
The Great Depression caused many small businessmen, office workers, artisans, and peasants to vote Nazi. Hitler promised to use government programs to end the economic crisis.
Hitler had the ability to move crowds with his speeches for good or bad his speeches where never forgotten by the public. During the great depression Hitler was able to rise to power through the neediness of the people of Germany but also due to his mesmerising speeches.
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 weaknesses of the Weimar Republic helped Hitler’s leadership become significant. It first started when Germany lost World War One. The government had to take the blame and lost followers. It also weakened when the terms of the Treaty of Versailles were announced. The German army was reduced to almost nothing. There were no tanks or aircrafts allowed for their military. The Rhineland was taken away from Germany and was demilitarized to nothing. And Germany had to take the blame for World War One and pay reparations for it. Since Germany had to pay reparations, their economy crashed and money was worth very little then to nothing. Then in 1929, America’s stock market crashed and countries around the world felt the impact, especially Germany. The Great Depression was a worldwide problem. Then the Nazis created
During the early 1940's many European, countries and the United States, were recovering from World War I and the depression. Due to the fact that no one initially could or wanted to control Hitler's dictatorial power his extreme racism got out of control and he was able to slaughter millions of Jews. Though eventually Hitler brought destruction upon himself, if other countries would have stopped him in the early stages, World War II may have never happened. Though countries might have wanted to stop Hitler in Germany; they had their own county and people to worry about. The economic troubles prevented England and other European nations from taking part in international issues, and Hitler took full advantage of their weak conditions. This
1925-1929 as the Time of Economic and Political Stability in the Weimar Republic The years 1925-1929 were described as the Golden Years for Germany. There were no attempts to over throw the government like the Sparticist uprising or the Kapp Putsch, therefore undoubtedly it was the best years compared to the problems before and after the Golden Years.

This essay will re-state weather Nazi Germany was an overall positive or negative experience for people in Germany.
First of all, the situation that Germany was facing during the Depression was not easy. For the Germans and for Hitler himself, this situation was one of the worst conditions to live. When Hitler’s ideas appeared in Germany, the people did not think twice but to accept his ideals. Hitler’s aim was to rebuild a new Germany with the discipline that he believed. For this to happen new people would need to appear and for Hitler those new people would be the Germany future, the children.
Prior to the Great Depression, Germany was already in a poor economic and political state. More than 6 million Germans were out of work. Germany also had to pay massive reparations for supposedly being solely responsible for all the destruction that WWI caused, and the government was unstable, with several parties vying for power. The current government, the Weimar Republic, was losing support and there was no clear successor to be the new government of Germany. How did the Great Depression affect an already gloomy Germany? How did Hitler and the Nazis take advantage of the economic crisis?
