Unfortunately, it's all true. Hitler would have never become popular if there wasn't a major financial situation going on. The U.S. was at 25% unemployment, Canada at 33% (which is bad enough), but Germany went up to (I think) 50% at some points. People were pretty desperate, or at least desperate enough to listen to Hitler's rants. Hitler basically stimulated the economy by having massive building projects (like the Autobahn), expanding the army (which created jobs in factories), and in general pleasing the majority of the public.

I never heard about the part that Jews were "hoarding the wealth", but given Hitler's erratic/insane behaviour, I wouldn't put it past him.

And when Hitler started to invade random countries, the wartime spending that the Allies/Axis were doing stimulated their own economies, especially when their own armies' expansions created more jobs.

There's my history rant. Smile

Thanks Jazzeh, it makes sense now. I studied the how Hitler got to power for three months or so... a couple of years ago. I remember now ^__^

Yeah, that's how he got to power pretty much. Germany wanted to get back its former glroy both economically and politcally.Hitler used everyone he didn't like (Jews, the Romani, etc) as scapegoats.

He was primarly elected on his rhetoric though.

I thought I would share this.

A writer recently said that there were only two times in history where someone was elected to a leadership position in their country by rhetoric alone.

One was Hitler and the second was Obama. (Not anit-Obama. Just thought this was interesting bit of trivia.)

They both went for "hope and change" too. In purely different ways.

All I know is that the only thing that brought the world out of the Great Depression is World War II. Sucks to think of it that way, but it's the truth. The world needed people to manufacture weapons, factories were built, and those factories needed to be worked. Lots of jobs right there.

As for Nina's explanations, I'm wishing that I took government and economics a year early like everyone else I know instead of waiting a year so I can take AP... DX I feel so lost.

At the expense of his own country, I might add. Wars are certainly profitable if done in someone else's territory.
