In fact, Germany was said to be the most affected by this horrific experience. The effects of the great depression lead from economic to political affairs, destroying the strength of many of Germany’s aspects. Before the depression itself, Germany had many up leading background problems. After WWI had finished, Germany was faced with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles. Germany was forced to follow many orders and restrictions, which marginalised the country to its superior ‘allies.’ The Treaty of Versailles enforced reparations on Germany, as well as loss of land ownership. Just as much as Germany had to pay reparations to its allies, the loss of land also meant loss of industries, mines, etc. which also meant loss of money. Not only a great loss of wealth but also a great loss of resources. A major factor of the Treaty of Versailles was the conducting of creating Germany as a democracy, or as society likes to account as ‘dictated peace.’ This put Germany in a very vulnerable position, as they had never been a democracy before and this weakened the governmen

There was a world wide depression at that time. It was really bad in Germany. German money was almost worthless. I think I once read that it took a wheel barrow full of German money to buy a loaf of bread. France and England imposed heavy war debts on Germany, and this added to Germany's problems.These were some of the biggest reasons Hitler was able to rise to power.

The economic collapse of paper monies is what the Nazi Party used to secure power in the elections.
The ChystalNacht or Night of Broken Glass was the propagande genius of Goebells. After the Nazis used the poor conditions to attain power they needed a certain thing to focus the peoples opinion on, Jews were the choice. It could have been Gays, Gypsyies, Foreigners, they tested all of them, Jews were the focus group that worked best.
They built up a war machine, invaded and stole from other countries, lost the war, now we buy cars from them. They turned out ok. The Jews and others that they killed were enemies of the state.
Never forget.

first : you have to think about time period: Great depression lasted from 1929 till early 40es.
in germany it was a weimar republic, but it was very weak, so Hitler could get an easy access to power. He used ritorics, calling people to support his terrible ideas and they did cuz they believed this was the only way to facilitate their lives. He comes to power in 1936. that's how in early 30es in Germany they start terrible chases after jewish people. and in 1939 as you know Hitler started WW2 with an attack on Poland...
