The Rise of Nazism in Germany
In 1918, after the hopeless surrender of Germany, the armistice of World War One was signed. The surge of German nationalism, build up over the war, was crushed at their desperate submission to the allies. The next 14 years would mean economic, social, and political depression for Germany. By 1932 the German people were desperate for someone, a leader, to take control, to take responsibility for them, and to help them rebuild the country they had such a passion for. Adolf Hitler was this leader. He used the situation in Germany to convince the people that nazism was the answer for Germany, and, once in power, began his reign of terror which still sends chills down our spines today.The Treaty of Versailles, signed in 1919, was an insult to the German nation. It forced Germany to take full responsibility for WW1, and required them to pay enormous reparations. Germany was not consulted on the terms of this peace treaty, but merely called to sign the final document. The conditions of the Treaty of Versailles state, among many injustices for Germany, that the German empire was to be divided amongst the victors, restrictions were placed on the size of the German army, and the German government were forced to pay 6,600 million pounds
