This growing unrest meant that the country needed to find cheaper more effective ways to fight the communists; one option that was available to the US was the new idea of peaceful coexistence. This was one of the reasons why America thought this policy was a good idea. America could then spend less money funding the nuclear arms race and more money on the important events during this time. One of the first examples of coexistence was when the west allowed the Red Army to invade Hungary. This shows how the West we willing to let the soviets do something that was clearly wrong.
Macon’s bill #2 also had a positive affect on the United States in the short term, as it reopened trade with France and England, and for a short time just France, which had been America’s greatest commercial sources of trade. That is how President Madison’s actions positively impacted the United States. Andrew Jackson, throughout his term, also performed several actions that had negative impacts on the nation. One such action was the chartering of the Second National Bank of the United States. While the bank provided an efficient method by which the war debts of the United States could be handled, it also created division amongst the American people.
By 1946, unemployment was reduced to 2.5% and this was in spite of huge post war problems such as shortages of raw materials and massive war debts. One way in which the government kept almost full employment was through nationalisation where the government took control of certain industries such as iron and steel production. Under this managed economy the government could use tax to keep an industry afloat even if it faced economic difficulties. This is a controversial topic as it was unclear how significant nationalisation was in creating jobs. Above all the Marshall plan was created as an initiative to provide massive loans for post war reconstruction and both the unemployment benefit and the massive rebuilding programme helped relieve idleness.
How far was the economic slump in Germany responsible for the remarkable rise in support for the Nazi party in the years 1928-32? Germany’s economic slump was a major factor in the Nazi’s good fortunes; however it was by no means the only factor which contributed to their rise in support. Linked with the poor economic climate, the political situation was in a dire condition, with no party apparently able to find a solution to Germany’ problems. A societal shift away from support for democracy also enhanced the NSDAP’s support as they seemed to offer a new hope to the public. The elite undermined Weimar as a result of their traditional values and hatred of democracy.
As seen in Document J this jobs did help to greatly lower the percentage of unemployed between 1935 and 1938. Although the work of the WPA did not completely solve the enormous problem it was certainly a move in the right direction, bringing the USA closer to the complete extermination of the unemployment problem, which was finally achieved after the second world war. This New Deal, fueled by organizations such as the WPA, completely revolutionized the role of the federal government. Coxey had advocated for actions similar to the new deal decades before but his ideas were shut down because the government had such close ties with big. However now, in such drastic times, the federal government realized that it needed to help the common people directly through providing more Jobs.
This meant that Germany had a long period of time to pay back the reperations, causing less harm to the economy and political stability. This evidence are reasons for recovery. I agree with this view as there were many factors, as shown above, that make me feel the recovery was affective. On the other hand, evidence shows that many people may disagree with the recovery of the Weimar Republic. Political recovery had against factors as the basic problems of the constitution remained.
Fighting between some of the leading Nazi’s also meant that it would have been near impossible to put together an effective economy with all missions heading towards the same aim. It is fair to say that the strengths towards this statement highly outweigh the weaknesses, as the war economy was very poorly coordinated due to the many factors that contributed to German war production decreasing. In February of 1942, Albert Speer was appointed as Minister of Armaments, which at the time was a crucial role in the Nazi’s dominant mechanism. This was became the centralising ministry amongst all
It is this force that essentially created this gap. Western nations taking valuable resources, including humans, from “third-world countries” allowed for those countries to be set back. Through economic means, the western countries underdeveloped their colonies by changing the industries to provide only raw materials. Yet, it is claimed that those countries created their own conditions and are the only ones to blame for their lack of advanced culture. Overpopulation is another idea used to blame the “third-world countries” while countries in Western Europe have a higher density.
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.
America has spent numerous amounts of money on strengthening our homeland security as well as border patrol, which have strengthened our defense but weakened our economy. Although some Americans feel much safer within our borders today, there are still many more that still have fear of those terrorists, but with all the new laws stemming from 9/11 people generally feel much safer in America than ever before. In conclusion, 9/11 has had many a huge impact in America in many ways both positive and negative. A positive impact of 9/11 is that Americans came together as one and showed they were there for one another when times got hard. A negative impact that 9/11 has had is the effect it has had on the economy and also with the war in Iraq and Afghanistan.
