The Impact of the Great Depression on Germany

The Great Depression, which began with the stock market crash in 1929, had a profound impact on Germany. The economic downturn led to mass unemployment, poverty, and social unrest. Many Germans lost faith in the Weimar Republic, blaming it for their hardships. During this period, extremist parties like the Nazi Party gained popularity by promising to restore Germany's former glory and improve economic conditions.

Source A: Economic Collapse in Germany, 1930s
