Hitler had introduced many different schemes in order to decrease unemployment such as Battle for Work which was set up to help unemployed people find work. Hitler had also stopped paying reparations in order to invest the money into German companies. Rearmament had created jobs in the armament industry and their use of the ‘mefo bills’ meant that they were out of sight from the British and French. Also the construction of the Autobahnen (roads) and this helped a lot of men gain jobs. Women and Jews, although sadly for them, were sacked from their jobs and these were given to German men.
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. In addition, unemployment had steadily decreased since 1933 showing that the Nazis were helping create more money. Also, the production of shoes and textiles appears to increase during the 4 year plan which is due to military uniforms, however it could also be beneficial as the quality of clothes would be paraded around which would make people want new clothes. This shows that the Nazis did help
He says technology is eliminating the need for them because you can make chips much simpler with a computer than a human worker. So yes, it seems that the more technology we are creating the less highly educated workers we will need. Section 2 is where he goes on to talk about the working classes and how since 1990 the U.S job market is “hollowing” out. The high and low paying jobs are increasing while the middle wage jobs are all disappearing. The reason for the job market turning this way is the fact that technology hurts those who do physical work and helps those who work with their mind.
As the chancellor in 1923 he led Germany out of the hyperinflation crisis and as the foreign minister, he ended Germany's isolation amongst the international community and helped the country to become a magnet for foreign investment. Stresemann was admired by some, reviled by others. In September 1923 when the Germans were unable to pay reperations to France, French and Belgian troops took resources from the Rurh area as payment, which influenced the German workers to refuse to work in Ruhr. The workers strike worsened the fall in production. This encouraged Stresemann to call off the passive resistance and he agreed to repay the reperations and persuaded workers to return to work.
To what extent was the Great Depression responsible for the collapse of the Weimar Republic? While the Great Depression had a huge impact on Germany, it is too simplistic to say that the Depression alone led to the collapse of the Weimar Republic. The Depression had a great impact both economically, socially, politically and psychologically, but its main significance was the opportunity it provided radical politicians such as Hitler. The collapse of the Republic itself can almost be described as inevitable, having being built on unstable and weak foundations. As well as the Depression, the collapse of the Republic can be linked to a large number of factors, including the influence of the army, political instability and constitutional weaknesses.
Assess the view that the most important element in maintaining Hitler's regime in power between 1933 and 1945 was the consent of the German people There was an original view that the German people feared the regime but there has been a view put forward that the German people actually helped the regime by participating with the Gestapo but still many people believe that the German populace lived in fear of the regime. This was because of many different reasons like the use of Propaganda to control the minds of the Germans. The use of fear to make sure that they acted in the way that the regime demanded. Another key element in the regime was the use of fear to scare the Germans into supporting them. The removal of the opposition was also a useful fact into the Nazis staying in power.
He also did not want them crippled because Germany had been Britain’s leading trading partner before the war and he wanted this trade resumed so that Britain’s economy could grow again. In what ways did the Treaty of Versailles weaken Germany’s armed forces? 4 marks Germany’s armed forces were considerable weakened by the Treaty of Versailles. They had to reduce the army to 100,000 men, with no conscription. They were not allowed to have an airforce or any armoured vehicles live tanks.
The tires with the words wages and prices depicts inflation and how the war boom raised the prices and wages too much and too fast. 2) The artist was definitely not in favor of F.D.R's policies because even before the war, they were not solid enough to create a favorable result. The air releasing from the tires while they are trying to pump up the wages and prices shows that Roosevelt's attempts to boost the economy was having little effect and when the war boom hit, he lost total control. 3) The second image is ironic due to the fact that the depiction of American life was glamorous and care free
We don't succeed when a few at the top do well while everyone else struggles to get by -- we're better off when everyone gets a fair shot, everyone does their fair share, and everyone plays by the same rules. When Bill Clinton was president, he believed that if America invested in the skills and ideas of its people, good jobs and businesses would follow. His economic plan asked the wealthiest Americans to pay a little more so we could reduce our deficit and still invest in job training and education, research and technology, better health care and a dignified retirement. And what happened? By the end of his second term, our economy created 23 million new jobs.
Americans entry into WWII gave the economy the final push into recovery that it needed. Massive government spending on war efforts as well as factories being put back in service meant more jobs for the common man and now women too. The unemployment rate, which was just over 17 percent in 1939, dropped to just 9.6 percent in 1941 and 4.7 percent in 1942. (Smiley) Much of this can be attributed to the wartime draft where the number of military service members increased by more than 8.5 million between 1940 and
