What do you think these flags have in common?
Which one creates the strongest reaction?
Why was the word “to” put in between the flags
And What About Germany???
They were still angry over the way that WW I had ended. Many Germans felt they had been stabbed in the back (betrayed) by those who took over for the Kaiser (leader of Germany) when he was forced to leave power at the end of The War.
When someone feels someone else has stabbed them in the back they think that other person has not been honest with them.
It makes them mad.
They were insulted that they were forced to admit blame for starting the war. They were humiliated that they were limited to an army of only 100,000 men. That is only 3% of the size of their WW I army.
Then there was their economy. It was destroyed by the pressure put on by the requirements to pay the reparations (penalty) to Great Britain and France.
They were had to pay the equivalent in today’s dollars of $1,782,255,617,429.94. That is almost 2 trillion dollars!!!
2 trillion dollars buys 500,000,000,000 Big Macs at $4 each. That is a LOT of Big Macs.
People soon began suffering. By November, 1923 the inflation level (a rise in prices) had reached 726,000,000,000.00 %. That means that something that cost $1 at the beginning of 1923 would cost $726,000,000,000.00 (726 billion) in November. Money was worthless. Nobody could afford anything.
The German paper money was so worthless people used it to do things other than buying stuff:
German paper money being used to start a fire in a wood-burning stove
People were hungry
Hungry men in a German soup kitchen. Look at how skinny the man is
People Were Homeless (had no place to live)
Young German male with no place to live.
Would he pay attention to someone who said to him you DO NOT have to live like this, I will make it better for you ???
Would he pay attention to someone who said to him you DO NOT have to live like this, I will make it better for you ???
If they could elect someone to be their leader who said this was not fair, would they do it???
People could not finds jobs
Look at the name on the wall of the building. Do you think he used the anger of all of these unemployed people to try to get elected???
All of this happened because the German government at that time had no money to use to help the German people.
Unemployment was bad in The United States. In 1932 the percentage of people out of work reached 25% of the nation. In Germany it was worse. In Germany the rate of unemployment reached 31.7%. Almost 1 out of every 3 people had no job. They could not pay for food and a place to live.
People were looking for someone to come to their rescue. They wanted to hear somebody tell them it was NOT their fault, and that they would make it better for them.
Do you recognize the man giving a speech to try to get elected leader of Germany???
They wanted to have someone take charge and tell them they would lead them to better times. They wanted to hear someone tell them there would be food when there had not been enough for a long time.
Look at the faces of the young men in this club run by the Nazi Party where they could get food and a place to live.
What would they be willing to do if he became leader of their country???
What would they be willing to do if he became leader of their country???
They wanted someone to provide jobs where there were none. They wanted a place to live rather than being on the street homeless. They wanted someone to lead them to again be proud of being German.
And what would all of this WANT lead to???
Campaign Speech. As in trying to get elected to be leader
Then he was made Chancellor(leader)
One year later in 1934 the power would still be building
Gathering of Nazis - Showing their growing strength
They were now in power in Germany. This is a movie made at a BIG gathering of the Nazi Party in 1934, one year after they got that power. Five years later they would start WW II, and in 1945, over 60 million people who were alive when this video was made when the war started would be dead.
