The consequences of Kristallnatch, the event in Germany was rejected by various and praised by others, many governments cut off relations with Germany in protest. The Jews who remained in Germany were forced to pay a fine of one billion marks for the damage in kristallnatch, Jewish children were not accepted in schools and there was a mass escape of Jews living in territories ruled by the 3rd Reich. As we saw the Kristallnatch was not a spontaneous act but an act orchestrated by the nazis who had been waiting for the right occasion to performed it, with that act the Nazis declared an
This angered the German public as they thought that the government’s plan would just make living harder if they did increase the taxes. Taking advantage of this, Hitler told the public that the reparations and the Treaty of Versailles was to blame for Germany’s hardship. When America recalled all the loans that they gave Germany, Germany was left in immense debts. This proved Hitler’s point that the reparations and the Treaty of Versailles were wrong. After that the people of Germany began to vote for Hitler because the Weimar government had proved itself useless and Hitler was the only one offering a way out.
On one hand, the failures of emigration initiated with the growing sympathy for Jews both abroad and nationally. The Kristallnacht pogrom in 1938, a consequence of Polish emigration and the assassination of Ernst von Rath by Polish Jew Hershal Gryzpan, reduced Germany’s international opinion, especially in America where on the 23rd to the 25th November, a public protest was constructed: the burning of the swastika to show their disregard for the German treatment of Jews. This international view of Nazi emigration is seen to contradict the Nazi aim to increase international anti-Semitism and the awareness of the ‘Jewish Question’. It instead raised sympathy for the Jewish population abroad. Furthermore, it reveals another reason for the failures of emigration rather than the refusal to Jews to leave Germany.
Historian use the failure of the putsch to prove Nazi party as weak before 1929. This was the infamous Munich Putsch which took place on 24th February 1924. Hitler had over grossly estimated the level of public support for the putsch despite issues faced by the Weimar republic at the time, clearly the German people were in desperate need for a new stable government and leader, however when the Nazi party presented itself to the people it did not receive much followers which questions did the German people see the Nazis weak. The putsch failed, mainly due to the lack of planning. Without taking into account of the failure of the Putsch, if the Nazis failed to organise the Putsch to begin with clearly
Thus, this essay will account for the consolidation of Nazi power between 1933 and 1934. The failure of 1923 Munich Beer Hall Putsch triggered for Hitler and the Nazis to alter their means of gaining power. Hitler instead of physical force, to attain political power, he turned to the democratic legal system, and had intended to gain votes into the Reichstag. After the Munich Putsch, Hitler was sent on trial and this gave Hitler and his movement national attention, causing for the increase of his following among right wing nationalists. While the Munich Putsch was not a success, as Hitler failed to seize power through force, his movement was however publicised, and made known to the German people.
To What Extent Were Hitler’s Foreign Policy a Success - 1938 Hitler, along with many other ambitions, was determined to make Germany a leading and powerful nation once again, though several issues prevented him from doing so. Firstly, was the much detested ‘Treaty of Versailles’. For years, the people of Germany along with many others from neighbouring countries believed it was unjust, making it Hitler’s first aim – To abolish the Treaty. The Treaty forbade Germany and Austria from uniting – Anschluss, it imposed the ‘demilitarisation’ of the Rhineland, and most “unjustly” left thousands of German speaking nationals living in countries such as Poland and Czechoslovakia. Just as the Treaty was a constant reminder to Germany’s defeat in World War I, Hitler believed communism was the reason for the loss, leaving him gripped to the possibility of potential ‘communist takeover’ of Germany.
The Versailles Treaty required Germany to pay stiff reparations. The reparations bill totaled $33 billion. Germany faced disastrous inflation.The anger that built up in Nazi Germany - and which was played on by Hitler during his rise to power had long term causes that went back to the 1919 Treaty of Versailles since the patriotic Germans had never forgotten their nation's treatment in Paris. The peace settlements led to the creation of new nations of Eastern Europe. However, the principle of national self-determinations had not always been followed.
Causes of WW 11 Who, or what was to blame in causing WW 11? The Versailles Treaties have been blamed for fillnig the Germans with bitterness and the desire for revenge. The League of Nations has been for failing to secure general disarmament and collective security. The Great Depression has been mentioned because without it Hitler would never have come to power. While these factors created tension, something more was needed to create the war.
Germany was bankrupted after WW1 and robbed of its ability to feed itself and pay war reparations without printing money. The consequence of this was that old money was wiped out in Germany. The new money borrowed in order to rebuild the German economy came largely from Jewish bankers, who somehow avoided the effects of the hyperinflation. Many who suffered a substantial amount during hyperinflation turned to support a strong party who promised to make a difference. Hitler came to power on a campaign of mass reconstruction of Germany, and building up the military to the extent of having the clout to tear up the hated Versailles agreement and get away with it.
It is believed that Adolf Hitler had put a tremendous amount of blame on the Jewish population for the losses of World War I and embarrassment that wouled ensue Germany afterwards. Becoming the juggernaut nation in it’s way up, the United States had the ability to protect the Jewish population of America in 1938, but Franklin D. Roosevelt felt that World War I was still too close in history that he felt it was best to not be involved quite yet. Policy in The United States prohibited many Jewish citizens from becoming a U.S citizen. Franklin D. Rooseevelt’s regulations also affected the U.S citizens and the immigration dilemma that was about toi happen before Hitler’s actions came into play. The United States was not at a stable point in time having just started to come out of the Great Depression of
