By 1936, the German economy had recovered to the extent that Hitler’s main long term aim of creating an economy which could support sustained rearmament was possible. Throughout the period of 1933-36, this was the recovery period for Germany in order to make a more stable Germany and resolve economic problems and unemployment. Unemployment was a very big concern in Germany. When Hitler went into power in 1933, 5 million people were unemployed. 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.
During the Great Depression, President Roosevelt used several revolutionary tactics to heal the suffering American economy. These tactics, the providing of public service jobs, the movement for social security and the implementation of a "blanket code" for workers rights, had great success and greatly revolutionized the role of the federal government. The providing of public service jobs (the New Deal) was the tactic that served to heal the most daunting problem in American society, unemployment (document J). In 1935 the Roosevelt administration created the WPA to help employ Americans for publicly funded projects such as "city beautification." As seen in Document J this jobs did help to greatly lower the percentage of unemployed between 1935 and 1938.
Did the fact that the Nazis ‘solved’ the economic problems of Germany help with their popularity? Did the fact that Hitler began dismantling the T of V help boost his popularity? How much support did the Nazis have and how far were they in control? Intro: Set the scene and signpost your argument: Nazis came to power by default perhaps i.e. high unemployment; only 37% of votes but by the mid 30’s he was in complete control of Germany and had created a one-party state.
To move towards a socialist society: • According to Marxist theory, socialism could only be created in a society where the majority of the population were workers – but in 1928, only 20% were workers in the USSR. To establish his credentials: • Stalin wanted to prove himself was the worthy succession of Lenin. • He wanted to make the leading Bolsheviks believe the he was Lenin’s equal. • He believed he could do this through his economic plan – he believed that by taking the USSR towards socialism would prove this. To improve standards of living: • Stalin knew the USSR had a bad standard of living was poor compared to the West, and wanted to catch up with them.
Matt Ulinski 1/6/14 History New Deal The Great Depression was an economic disaster the hit the United States so hard that the lives of the whole country were affected in one way or another. There was little response from the first president who was in office when the disaster first struck, Herbert Hoover, but Franklin Delano Roosevelt who was elected after him formed a series of plans which collectively he referred to as The New Deal. The Three main points that constituted this plan of action is what some like to call the three R’s; Relief, Recovery, and Reform. While all three were crucial to the recovery of this great nation the two that seemed to be the most beneficial were relief, and recovery. When all things are considered, these
However, at the election, Nazis didn't win majority of the votes, therefore a coalition government was formed with the National Party. Hitler was disappointed as he needed two thirds of the seats in order to change the constitution. Although it seems as if the election hadn't really helped Hitler, I think it gave him the incentive to move on to his next step of passing the Enabling Bill, making it a key reason as to why he was able to form this dictatorship. The Enabling Bill was the next big step for Hitler as it allowed him to make laws without
For example, the people of Germany were fed and housed after the war and the Allies were beginning to make a structured society; many Nazi professionals, such as doctors and administration staff, were re-educated politically - even high-ranking Nazis were excused from punishment – and returned to their previous occupations so as to help Germany thrive. Also, the decentralisation of German power showed that the Allies were willing to help rebuild Germany politically as they did not just remove Nazis from power and leave the country without a stable government. However, the carrying-out of denazification was slack from the beginning. Firstly, the USA excused Nazi officials if they claimed to have information on the USSR and German missile programs. In fact, many of the policies put forward by the occupying
Was the Great Depression the main reason why the Nazi Party grew between 1929 and 1932? The Great Depression is the most significant reason because it made people turn to the extreme ring-wing and left-wing parties. The Wall Street crash sent stock markets plummeting in October 1929. In a very short time Germany were very badly affected. American businesses lost vast amounts of money and to repay the debt they asked German banks to repay the money they had borrowed.
So it all goes back to helping not hurting the people of Germany. The Soviets have had many attempts to take practical control over the entire city of Berlin, but this only helped the British and United States make clever plans like the Marshall Plan and the decision of the Airlift. The Berlin Blockade lasted from June 24th, 1948 to May 12, 1949, but still long enough to have killed many starving civilians. The Marshall plan in my opinion helped the most because $13 billion in economic and technical assistance were given to help the recovery of the European countries that had joined in the Organization for European Economic Co-operation. After all this happened in result to the Berlin Blockade, the Soviets started limiting their efforts to take control because they knew that other dominate forces like the United States and the Soviet Union and its
The depression made people bankrupt and lose their jobs; Hitler and the Nazis promised people that they would get them jobs and solve unemployment. By 1930, the number of people unemployed was at 3,217,000 and the Nazis votes had gone up by 18.3%. Another reason why people would agree was that the ‘Wall Street Crash’ not only caused unemployment but also caused farmers to get evicted, have bad harvests, and
