Another Japan Review! lol. not happening. today bruns is actually reviewing it tho. maybe we'll get to another country today? lets check the us national debt clock!
Germeny.
treaty of versialles...took tons of land away, cut their military forces, $33 billion dollars. majorly bad effects.
Wymar Republic. the people did not like going from dictators to a republic, because republics were messy. people elect the pres and the congress, and the pres appoints the chancelor and the judges. mostly the people hated the republic because they signed the treaty of versailles. that, and it was made up of jews and communists.
hitler ran for pres and lost, but the guy who won appointed him chancelor. because he was popular, because he was head of the up-and-coming nazi party, and because they didnt like him and wanted to keep and eye on him. biggest mistake in german history. Hitler burns down a building, blames the communists (he doesnt like them or the republic, and the communists dont like him or the republic) the pres then dies of natural causes (surprisingly) and the chancelor, hitler, becomes pres. thus, he dissolves the democracy from there and becomes dictator. so he came to power legally like that. called himself Der Fuehrer, aka the leader.
He promised jobs and and delivered on it, most jobs that opened up were industrial or militaristic. helped the homeless too. so people like him for that. he was kept in a positive view by the public. he made germany strong again after the WW1 embarrassement.
Obvious negative....genocide. not right away...hitler had to get his support. he took baby steps until he was too powerful to be stopped peacefully. bit by bit, he took the jews' rights (they could only marry other jews, germans couldnt buy anything from jews, they were moved into ghettos, then into concentration camps) until eventually he viewed extermination as the only option.
hitler's goals were to make germany strong again, reunite the german peoples, find "living space" for the overcrowded people to stay (spread out), creating and purifying the aryan race (which involved the elimination of undesirables such as jews, metally ill, homos, africans, etc). he also believed jews were trying to infiltrate countries so they could rape the other peoples' women in order to dilute their blood. which was totally wrong and paranoid of him. yucky yucky stuff hitler did...sort of rape farms in scandonavia with blonde-haired blue-eyed women that blonde-haired blue-eyed soldiers went up to and...yeah. yuck. hitler was a sicko. the "living space" was for the overpopulation he was expecting from those yucky things, and he wanted to put the new people in ukraine, so they could become dominant powers of europe, etc.
germany's millitary in the 1920s was almost non-existant. in the 30s, hitler gave people jobs in the military and actually told the world about it, and nobody said anything about it. strategy...blitskraig "lightning war". basically to take over as much land as possible in a short amount of time. used machine guns, tanks, airplanes. WW1 weapons were imporved and used in much more effective ways. the Polish were terrified. with reason.
