7. Time to be an examiner! Please mark the following
One effect of the Great Depression on Germany was Hitler. He became really powerful and the people of Germany wanted him to be their leader – they thought he would save them. Times in Germany were really bad, hyperinflation meant everyone lost their savings and no-one had any money so they looked to Hitler to save them. As a result he became a dictator.
One effect of the Great Depression was that 6 million people were unemployed by This was because German industry depended on $9bn worth of short term loans from the US as a result of the Dawes and Young Plan so Germany suffered terribly when the Wall Street Crash hit Germany. As a result, there was political polarisation and the Nazis and the KPD both increased their seats in the Reichstag.

8. Time to be an examiner! Please mark the following
One reason why Hitler became dictator in 1934 is because he was able to persuade the Catholic Centre Party to vote for the Enabling Act in March This was important because it gave Hitler the power to use Article 48 which meant he could rule without consulting the Reichstag. This meant he could pass laws which would get rid of any opposition to his rule. For example in July 1933 no more political parties were allowed to exist in Germany. A second reason why Hitler became dictator was because he got rid of all opposition to his ambition to be a dictator. For example the only political party allowed after July 1933 were the Nazis The link is that Hitler used the Enabling Law to make himself dictator.
