The Depression which began in 1929 was a great mean for Hitler to come to his power. During the Depression (1929-33), the Weimar Republic was seriously undermined by the social and economic conditions, which were also exploited by the Nazi Party. The Nazi ideologies appealed to those people who had seen no hope on the Republic. The Party promised people jobs, money, and homes, plus, they also wanted to abolish the Treaty of Versailles so there wouldn’t be huge reparations. That’s what German people want; they liked to be reminded of the humiliation caused by the War, and they wanted to get it back from the Republic.
When the Germans had lost World War I, had a huge impact back in Germany. Unfortunately the Weimar Republic was being started at the same point as when the war had ended. With this glooming over the beginning of Weimar many people were blaming them for the loss of the War. There were few things that were in the Treaty in which gave problems which led to events in which the Weimar would later have to deal with. One of the restrictions put on the Germans was the amount of Soldiers that they could have.
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.
Hitler instead blamed many others, mainly the Wemiar and the Jews, this also gained popularity with the people of Germany. The treaty of Versailles also stipulated that Germany must demiliterize, resulting in alot of soliders without jobs. With large unemployment people are more likely to take more radical views as they get more desperate, Hitler used this to his advantage. The treaty of Versailles was a major cause to Hitlers rise to power. Another major cause that resulted in Hitlers rise to power was the Weimar democracy.
It has been argued for a long time if Germany is to blame for causing world war one. This essay will argue if Germany is responsible for the first world war which took part in 1914-1918. There can be different opinions to this question but it is hard to blame only one contry for such a big war. German government was very eager to rule the world and be part of the big countries in Europe, especially like Great Britain. This ruling is inadequate and can make the other countries aggressive and full of hatred.
Many significant characters are revealed though out the novel such as Death, Hans Hubermann, and Liesel Meminger. These characters are memorable as well as lovable, but also bring out the idea’s and style of the Novel. Death is one of the major characters in The Book Thief as not only does he give the book a certain style but also the book is set from his perspective. “It’s the story of one of those perpetual survivors.” (Markus 2005, p.6) Death is shown as impatient and spills in the beginning the main events in the book such as the bombing raid the takes place, the death of the American fighter pilot as well as the fate of important characters. Death even notices it and apologises.
They believed they belonged to a Volksgenmeinschaft that proved for their needs and to which they owed their obedience. Such benefits were accompanied by a denial of human rights, and a haphazard system of government dependent upon the will of an all-powerful leader. Before the final solution was carried out, a number of acts occurred including sterilization which hardened the German people for the anti Semitic explosion of the holocaust. The Law for the Prevention of Hereditary Diseased Offspring was passed in July 1933. It stated that anyone with anyone of the following hereditary diseases could be sterilized: Schizophrenia, manic depression, hereditary deafness and so on.
Hitler used propaganda, elimination of the opposition, and a cult of personality to gain the support and trust of the German people in a time of economic crisis to his benefit and the rest of the world's loss. Single party states arise from a crisis, and Germany was suffering from a very large one at that time. The end of World War I in 1918 had left the economic state in shambles, and the loss struck the German people hard. Furthermore, the Treaty of Versailles the following year resulted in the demilitarisation and many cuts from German land and territory. Hitler criticized the carving up of Europe by the "Big Four" (the US, UK, France and Italy), stating that the Germans were the "master race".
(Sherman, 719) The struggle and discipline of war gave meaning to Hitler's life. Life was struggle and so too was war. What better atmosphere for Hitler to further develops his nationalist and social Darwinist sentiments? But when defeat came in 1918, Hitler's world was shattered. The war had been his
Q. How important was resentment over the Treaty of Versailles in explaining the rise to power of the Nazi Party in Germany between 1919-33? The resentment over the Treaty of Versailles is very important in explaining the rise to power of the Nazi Party in Germany between 1919-33. Aswel as the Treaty of Versailles, there were many other factors that could be blamed for the rise of the of the Nazi party ,including the Weimar Republic, Nazi ideology and perhaps most importantly the Economic Factors. The treaty of versailles was one of the peace treaties signed at the end of ww1 after months of argument and negotiation amongst the "big three" to what the treaty should contain.
