There were a number of key threats to the Weimar Republic in the period 1919 to 1923. To an extent one could argue that a major threat to the Republic was the severe economic crisis Germany had to endure after the war. The First World War left Germany with high inflation as much of the cost of the war had been financed by increasing the money supply and the German currency consequently declining in its value. For example, 1923, 4.2 trillion marks were needed to buy $1. The harsh reparation payments by the Treaty Of Versailles ( £6600 million) was indeed a threat to the Weimar Republic.
During the Age of Anxiety, Germany and Russia were two nations that had an abundance of social, economical, and political problems. With unhappiness being a common trend between both nations it allowed for the seeds for totalitarian governments to be planted. Leaders who promised a rebirth and beneficial changes within the nations appealed to people within Germany and Russia. Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler were two of the leaders that took advantage of the Age of anxiety and were able to introduce new political theories and brought change to their nations. Due to their harsh loss during World War One, Germany and Russia faced economic turmoil.
The Holocaust was caused by three main factors; Germany's loss of World War I, the Great Depression, and Antisemitism. Rooted deep within were the feelings of humiliation, anger, and revenge.

He set into motion many new reforms known as the New Deal. The New Deal was a series of economic policies implemented to provide relief to millions of Americans that were stuck in a state of poverty as a result of the Great Depression. The Great Depression was the economic crisis beginning with the stock market crash in 1929 and continuing through the 1930s. The Great Depression hit many Americans hard and put them in even harder times. A contributing factor to this economic struggle was the Dust bowl.
The foreign powers attempted to disunite the confederacy, primarily through boundary disputes and treaty violations. By "attacking" the United States' at its most vulnerable state, these foreign powers were able to expand their influence in North America and essentially bully the country. Due to the costly expenses of the Revolution, and despite the American's work-ethic and abundance of resources, the country entered into an economic depression. There was an increasing amount of state and individual debt, and a growing amount of domestic discontent by the working class. This depression further divided the American states into those who were debtors, and those who were creditors.
‘That act intensified nationalism all over the world... it encouraged further protectionism and led to a further decline in world trade’ an economist ii. ‘The world is paying for its ruthless destruction of life and property in the World War and for its failure to adjust purchasing power to productive capacity during the industrial revolution of the decade following the war’ Reed Smoot, Republican Senator for Utah, driving
The economic boom cause by World War I exposed weaknesses in the global economy which collapsed, causing the “Great Depression”, allowing more extreme politics to come around, and the stronger countries unable to stop it. On the other hand some would argue that what set the stage for World War II started with the treaty that ended World War I. Germany was forced to pay hefty reparations that crippled her economically. Making it nearly impossible for a country to succeed through peaceful means. With that being said World War One caused Germany to get into a great debt because they were left responsible for the damages made in World War One. In result Hitler began to rise up in his vengeful and expansionist plans for Germany.
Dear Editor, This are one of the most difficult times in the economy of the United States, many Americans are faced with the question of whether the government is doing what it is necessary to fix the economy. Franklin Roosevelt’s speech stressed an emphasis on his New Deal Program and advocated a change from what he implied was a do-nothing government to a hands-on government. Herbert Hoover in “The Confused State of the Union,” informed the public about the confusion of the ‘promises’ made by Franklin Roosevelt and his New Deal. Society is being torn apart by the depression: the country is facing problems of poor working conditions, slow and ineffective politics and a dying economy. It is evident the the role of government is becoming more important because society is depending on the government to solve the lasting problems of the economy, in politics, and social reforms.
