Source Analysis: The Great Depression and Hitler's Rise
Source A: Economic Hardship and Political Change
"The economic crisis that gripped Germany after 1929 created widespread despair and instability. Unemployment soared, reaching over 6 million by 1932, and many Germans lost faith in the Weimar Republic's ability to solve their problems. During this period, extremist parties like the Nazi Party gained significant support, promising to restore Germany's greatness and provide stability. Hitler exploited this economic hardship by blaming Jews, communists, and the Treaty of Versailles for Germany’s suffering, appealing to those desperate for change. The Nazi rise was thus closely linked to the economic turmoil of the Great Depression, which undermined confidence in traditional political parties and amplified support for radical solutions."
