Samenvatting Geschiedenis Hoofdstuk 2 paragraaf 3 1918: Germany became a democracy, after the Treaty of Versailles. The first years were difficult, because it was very restless in Germany. There arose a dagger thrust legend. Germany wouldn’t be defeated, but snitched by the democrats. 1919: The communists tried to get the power, but they were blocked by the army. There were constantly street violence between the left-wing commando groups and the right-wing volunteer corps. The first Democratic Party was called the Weimer Republic. Because Germany stayed behind on payments, the French occupied the Ruhr area. The German government asked the Germans to stop and gave them some extra money. The government didn’t have that much money themselves, so they started to print more money. There grew a big inflation. After 1923: Germany recovered the US loans. For a moment, it was going well with the economy. 1929: There came an end on the beautiful years of the Weimar Republic. The Americans wanted their loan back because they also had a crisis themselves. Many companies were bankrupt. The democrats were only arguing. The communists and the NSDAP took a profit of that. The leader of the NSDAP was Adolf Hitler. Mussolini was his example. The army was everything he had. After the defeat he swore to take revenge. He had talent for speeches and was very fast the leader of the party. The plan of Hitler was to conquer Germany, just like Mussolini did. First suppress Munich and then Berlin. Hitler was arrested. After a year he was already free. In that time he wrote a book “Mein Kampf”. There was a lot of hate in it, especially against the Jews. 1928: Hitler came free and got his own party. Because of the global crisis the NSDAP got more popular. Hitler blamed the democrats and the Jews. He promised a lot, like make the Treaty of Versailles disappear. Also he promised work and prosperity. 1932: The NSDAP won the elections. 1933: Hitler became chancellor. 4 years he had the power. The Nazis started to make a totalitarian state. All the party’s except the NSDAP were forbidden. The propaganda was fully controlled. All the boys and girls had to be member of the Hitlerjugend. Hitler wanted to be called Führer. People had to do the Hitler salute. Hitler began with an enormous armaments programme. Because of that the unemployment decreased. In the end Hitler was loved by the Germans, because he got the country up again.
