=**Germany and World War 1**= ====World War 1 started when the assassination of Archducke Franz Ferdinard on June 28, 1914. The War all ended with the Treaty of Versailles. The Treaty of Versailles was presented to the German Delegation on May 7, 1919. The Treaty of Versailles forced Germany to: concede vast European territories and oversea colonies, accept complete responsibility for world war 1, pay enormous reparation payments, and have no military. The Treaty of Versailles pretty much ruined Germany as a country.====

World War Weapons =Economic and Political Problems= ====Before WW1 the dollar was worth 4.20 marks, by November 1923 the the dollar was worth 4.20 trillion marks.The reason why German's economy got so bad was because of the debt they had to pay for the WW1. This time was called the hyperinflation of the German Reichsmark of 1923. During this time there were kids playing on the street with stacks of money because it wasn't worth anything and families used money to make fire to keep them warm. Also, the the Great Depression was during this time for pretty much the whole world.====



=The Nazi Party= ====The Nazi rise to power made the Germans question if they want the presidential rule, which was eventually brought to not having a presidential rule. On January 30,1933 President Paul Von Hindenburg appointed Adolf Hitler as chancellor of Germany which he eventually he took over. Hitler turned Germany to a country based on race. In 1933 Hitler used the Civil Service Law to start eliminating Jews from governmental agenices, state positions in economy, law, and cultural life.==== ====On March 23,1933, with help from the Enabling Law the German Parliament shifted the power to Hitler's cabinet. By mid-July the Nazi Party was the only party left in Germany because the other parties were either outlawed by the government or cracked under pressure. When Hindenburg died in August 1934 Hitler made himself both Fuehier and Reich chancellor.==== =**Antisemitism**= ====Antisemitism means prejudice against Jews or hatred of Jews. The Holocaust is an example of Antisemitism. The Holocaust is persecution and the murder of millions of European Jews by Nazi Germany. The Holocaust occurred during 1933-1945. Porgroms were another example of Antisemitism. Porgroms are violent roits against Jews and sometimes these riots persuade the government to do what they say. Germany throught that Jews were disloyal citizens. Once the Nazi's rose to power they ordered anti-jew boycotts and destruction of their homes and shops.====
