**Economic and Political Problems** Some economic problems were.. food prices going up such as bacon, and sugar. Also haircuts, rides, newspapers, etc. This was during 1923, many went bankrupt a total of over one million people were in debt by 1915. The budget deficit & and growing interest payments restricted the states freedom of movement. In 1921 the allies set Germany's reparations at 132,000,000,000 marks, in 1913.

Some political problems were many fatalities which resulted in some Germans starting to doubt Hitler's ability to lead them, they were petrified of losing loved ones. There were many arrests for inspiring political unrest, so the Nazis and Adolf decided to overthrow the government of Bavaria. Germany went through something called a cultural despair, many writers made so man papers over Germany's loss of World War I.

**The Nazi Party** The Nazi rise to power in Germany brought an end to the system of presidential rule, the leaders of the Weimar Republic slipped in response to the economic crisis of The Great Depression. January 30, 1933 Adolf Hitler became chancellor, and he began laying down the foundations of the Nazi state. In the first two years of him being a chancellor Hitler followed a policy of coordination. When Hindenburg died August 1934 Hitler designated as both Fueher and chancellor



**Antisemitism** Antisemitism means hatred of Jews, the Holocaust was a state sponsored persecution of European Jews by the Nazis. In the modern era antisemites added their ideology of hatred. With the Nazi rise to power in 19993 the party ordered anti-Jewish boycotts, they did book burnings and enacted discriminatory legislation. In 1935 the Nuremberg laws defined Jews by "blood" and ordered total seperation of "Aryans" and "non-Aryans". They did trends, some of the trends were equal civil rights, free trade, and many more. Antisemitism is the racial hatred against Jews, and other religions.
