According to Document 2 “In the period following the end of World War 1, Germany experianced a disastrous perioid of inflation. The German governemnts method of financing the war by borrowing heavily and printing large quantities of unbacked currency began th inflationary spiral. This lead to political violence.” The german economy was in ruins at the time, one us dollar was equivilant to 4,200,000,000,000 German marks at one point. This helped Hitler Rise to power because the people felt that their economy was very very weak because of the government, and they wanted a new upgraded government.
Economic Reparations was another reason the Treaty of Versailles helped cause WWII as well. On the chart in document C it shows that Germany had 132 billion gold marks of reparation in 1921 (document C). This is a lot of money and if Germany pays this they would have no money. Germany paid little in the 1920s as they were salty on how much reparations there were and land they lost. I personally think that this is too harsh on them as it only made them even more mad thus helping cause

Those circumstances were caused by Germany using valuable land, having extreme restrictions against their military, being forced to pay reparations, and forcing them to admit they were totally to blame. The Treaty of Versailles took important land from Germany. This land contained important for industry and coastal land important for trade and shipping. This was done to weaken Germany's economy. The map in document A shows territory lost by Germany following WWI.
After millions of deaths occurred during World War I, a peace treaty known as the Treaty of Versailles was created to maintain peace as well as prevent war; however, coincedently, the same treaty that was made to sustain peace helped prompt the start of yet another bloody war known as World War II. During the end of World War I, Germany was forced to sign the Treaty of Versailles as punishment for Germany and her allies being the aggressors of the war. Reparations, the War Guilt Clause, territorial loss, and restricted military were all factors as to how the Treaty of Versailles helped trigger World War II. War reparations were payments that Germany were required to pay as punishment to World War 1. Document C displays how Germany was set
After world war 1 France wanted To reduce Germany's power in every possible fashion and to surround Germany with strong barrier nations. After the Treaty of Versailles Germany felt humiliated to accept blame for the war and territorial loss. The two main reasons the Versailles Treaty caused World War II was because they took away Germany’s land and they made them pay a lot of money.
World War 2 had changed life on the homefront and completely switched gender roles. As men went off to war the women had to replace their jobs and work in factories manufacturing firearms, bullets, vehicles, etc. The boys who were not old enough to go to war collected scrap material to make items for the soldiers. People even had to put a certain type of shades on their windows to stop light from being seen on the outside in fear of giving the enemy bombers a target. World War 2 even started many social justice movements to stop racism even though it was still present during the war.
Germany had to take responsibility for the Great War. However, while Germany was paying to rebuild the rest of the world, Germany fell into a depression itself. Luckily for the Germans, a man named Adolf Hitler
As mentioned earlier, Germany was in great debt due to the reparations from world war 1 and the huge amount of money spent on the war. Germany wanted more natural resources to increase their economy. Hitler conquested areas that he felt was taken away from Germany in world war 1 such as Czechoslovakia and Poland. Which were rich in natural resources. According to “The outbreak of World War II in Europe”, it explains that “it brought in new wealth in the form of gold, natural resources, and industrial capacity to pay for the military campaigns.”
During the time from which Mildred Ella Didrikson Zaharias was majorly impacted was the 1930s through the 1940s. This period in time was often one to be discussed due to the very distinct gender roles and the economic status of the the United States. During the 1930’s the creation of the modern bureaucracy was created. This was known the public as the different parties the Republican and the Democrats (Gale). Also during the time between WW1 and WW2 the United States had been under an isolationist point in their government (Gale).
Reparations was one of many factors that contributed to World War 2.The Treaty of Versailles required Germany to pay large amounts of money in reparations to the Allied powers. These payments were meant to compensate for the damage and destruction caused by the war. However, the amount of money demanded from Germany was seen as unfair and crippling by many Germans, leading to resentment and economic hardship. The economic crisis caused by the reparations, coupled with political instability in Germany, created a climate of dissatisfaction and led to the rise of extremist political movements, such as the Nazi party. Hitler and the Nazis exploited this discontent and used it to gain power, promising to restore Germany to its former glory and
The Treaty of Versailles created multiple economic problems for Germany, such as inflation and unemployment, by demanding a reduction in Germany trade, reparations, taking away resources and industry. The German were separated from each other due to the Treaty of Versailles taking away Germany territory. An unpopular government was also put into place because of the Treaty of Versailles. Hitler wanted to make
After the first world war, Germany had been forced to surrender, leading to the compilation of the Treaty of Versailles, with many of the European countries forcing Germany to sign the Treaty. Germany was forced to pay all the reparations for the damage that they had caused, which totaled to about 6.6 billion
But, some people may beg to differ, for after Germany surrendered, World War I ended and the allied nations came together issuing a mandate (Treaty of Versailles) demanding that “Germany pay other European nations reparations to cover their monetary losses in fighting the war.” This sent Germany’s economy in a downward spiral, triggering hyperinflation, causing prices of basic goods to increase. and creating political upheaval throughout the country. Some people may ask, “What does this have to do the continuance of one war to the other?” Subsequently, the humiliation of the loss of the war and the terms of the Treaty of Versailles spurned Hitler into action, giving rise to Hitler’s Nationalist Nazi
After Germany signed the Treaty of Versailles nations of Germany had live miserable lives, because high inflation happened in Germany. Germany made a wrong decision when they had to pay money. Instead of taxing people to give money for the damage to Allies, Germany borrowed a lot of money from other countries. As a result they had to pay more money with a huge debt.
