Short-term Overview
The Great Depression
First became truly problematic with the Dawes plan, an agreement signed that would provide Germany with loans from the US that would be used to pay of Reparations to Britain and France, which would then later provide money back to the US
This triangular flow of money seemed to work at first, but later plummeted the world into heavy depression
In 1929, during the crash, banks began selling German securities and were unable to continue providing loan payments, forcing not only the US, but also all of Europe into a deep depression
Germany's economic recovery from 1924-1929 at first flourished, eventually falling into even deeper issues when the US economy crashed
8-Million Germans were unemployed, forcing up the support for the Nazi party who had promised to be able to provide more money opportunities for the Population
Prompted protectionist ideas for economic recovery, as countries were unwilling to provide money to any other who needed it
Economic hardships prompted competition between European countries, and especially also within the US, causing difficulty for being able to find jobs
German Expansionism
The Nazi party's promise for Lebensraum heavily relied on an expansionistic ideal in an attempt to capture more land
Invasions on Czechoslovakia, Austria, Poland
Invasions on different countries heavily affected the way that Germany was dealt with by other powers
Appeasement was one of the largest methods of attempting to hinder Germany from attacking Britain or France, but heavily upset all countries that were under fire by the Nazi Party
Austrian leadership was simply removed by having the leader resign, creating a pathway for Germany to simply expand without much resistance.
German Expansionism was at first met with little resistance, making the process overly difficult in its resolution
