8. Postwar Status 1920’s
Postwar Germany in the 20’s was total chaos, there were multiple governments that continued to fall and rise over time. The economy was in a depression and Hyperinflation was a major problem, to buy a loaf of bread it would cost millions of dollars. This was also the time that the germans were trying to pay back their Reparations from the great war, and they were not happy.... not one bit. 8

9. Postwar Status 1930’s
This was the development of Germany into the Nazi governed super power we all know today. Hitler rose to power and was able to rally the people back together, and mounted the Nazi party at the head, and eliminated the other competition, so the people would have one government to look up to. This would induce Nationalism. He decided to try to occupy the Northern tip of Africa: Imperialism. There were enormous demonstrations of military might, and the creation of the hitler youth for kids: Militarism. He formed connections with Italy very early on: Alliances. This reformed the M.A.I.N causes of the first world war. the second was bound to happen. He also turned Germany away from repaying the debt, to industry, and creating a super powerful army and conquering the world. And in the late 30’s war broke out again. 9
