Women and Jews, although sadly for them, were sacked from their jobs and these were given to German men. All these schemes that took place had given many Germans jobs and contributed to the reduction of unemployment. Now that Germany had more men helping to rearm through the large companies, it meant that rearmament could take place quicker and now that unemployment had decreased massively till 1939, that was one less problem that Nazi Germany had to worry about. The ‘Battle for Work’ scheme that was set up to reduce unemployment was successful in ways that it fell from 25.9% in 1933 to 7.4% in 1936. This was great for Germans however it did create some issues as Germany’s ‘secret rearmament’ scheme was bringing in too much imported raw materials into Germany whilst exporters were struggling due to taxes on imports and this left Germany with a big trade deficit.
Americans were not too eager to jump into the battle that ensued overseas. Scars from World War I still sat heavy with much of America. The focus on domestic affairs at home had caused a sense of isolation from the rest of the world. Also, some Americans had respect for Hitler. As a leader, he had pulled Germany out of the economic depression they were in.
When German citizens first came to the United States there were better jobs available in rural areas as opposed to the inner-city. This is classified as Dual Labor Market Discrimination and affected the German Americans as good paying work was harder to located if in an inner-city area. German Americans also were victims of Redlining. As the media spread to the American public about certain actions being carried out by German Nazis, this information only enabled the already growing stereotypes and discrimination for German Americans. While Redlining is mainly used in correlation to financial discrimination; this term can also be applied to the German Americans' struggle for equal treatment.
How far does the North-South divide explain the weaknesses of the liberal state in the years 1896-1914? The North-South divide in Italy was the economic and political split evident, and questionably still evident today within Italy. Northern Italy was dominated by a rapidly-developing and a capitalistic economy, whilst Southern Italy was far less advanced and more based on agriculture. The significance of the divide in relation to what extent it accounts for the weaknesses of the liberal state is subjective to not only the divide itself, but along with other factors which also effected the stability of the state. These factors include weaknesses in politics, international reputation, national unity and culture.
There were divisions between skilled and unskilled workers as well as background, creating smaller groups of people where large numbers were needed to make the difference. Most of the rights they had been given were only limited to white male workers and excluded every other group. By the 1920s the post war boom and subsequent depression allowed Trade Unions and Labour Rights to thrive because of the steady rising of wages, range of consumer goods in mass production and the belief that economic progress was unstoppable. The working
Germany now needed more money which resulted in more debts which were piling up from outstanding reparation payments. This shows that the Nazis really didn’t help Germany and its economy as all they wanted was more money to spend on the military, not to help re-build the previous strong Germany. Resulting in way more debts than they had started 1933 with. Although Germany faced many financial problems during the 1930’s, the Nazis did not make it much more worse than it already was. Without the Nazis, deals which had been set up between Hungary and Germany would not have existed meaning products being made would not have sold to that extra market, and Germany would not have gained some products too.
West Germany was always the more affluent of the two newly created states. Stalin banned Marshall Aid into Eastern Europe while the West was benefiting for it. The difference in lifestyle between the opposing states was evident. East Germans experienced food shortages, low wages with 25% of its industrial output going to the USSR and suffered from poor housing and infrastructure. This is undoubtedly obvious with the juxtaposition of Christiane’s East European style room against the rapid onset of capitalism creeping into the former GDP following the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Julius Caesar was not even capable of stopping or preventing the invasions from these barbaric tribes. Soon afterwards their economies began to suffer horribly from them having to pay more in order to enforce protection around the borders from unyielding invasions. What hurt them on the other hand was the lack in not electing a new leader to unify them and bring them back to their “Pax Ramona.” Both empires were able to reach the Golden Age. Now although their seemed to be a lot in common between the two empires, there are even more differences. The Roman Empire had a senate that they had to deal with and sometimes even appease.
This period saw the gradual strengthening of Prussia with the Zollverein and economic reforms. Also with the failure of the congress of Vienna, which was aimed to control the liberalist and nationalist ideas, Austria started suffering more problems as the Austrian leader was much more conservative about these ideas than Bismark, so the Austrians lost influence amongst the people. Futhermore, Prussia was in advantage because Bismark was much more popular than the Austrian leader. Bismark was more effective; the type of economic progress contented the majority of the middle classes. Kleindutch supporters saw in Prussia a more cohesive state, which was less archaic and more progressive economically.
Globalization is also the cause of inequality in the worlds economy, considering the fact that globalization has benefited the rich much more than the poor. While poverty rates have fallen as a result of our world becoming globalized, the workers are still getting an incredibly low income, which might cause social instability and conflict. Globalization has had a positive impact. One of the main advantages is that based on per capita GDP
