 * "... the economic factors of the time play a significant role in determining how a society will behave."
 * "Due to the Versailles treaty, Germany was forced to pay incredibly sizeable reparations to France and Great Britain."
 * "In addition, the Versailles treaty, which many agreed was far too harsh, forced Germany to give up thirteen percent of its land."
 * "At first Germany tried to recover from the war by way of social spending."
 * "Germany began creating transportation projects, modernization of power plants and gas works. These were all used to battle the increasing unemployment rate."
 * "The elevating amounts of money which were used for social spending combined with plummeting revenues caused continuing deficits."
 * "Eventually the municipal finance collapsed in 1930."
 * "Municipal officials and politicians were unable to restore order to the budgets. Further adding to Germany's economic problems, the revenue from income tax began to fall."
 * "Even with all of Germany's economic shortcomings, it could have still been possible to make reparation payments if foreign countries had not placed protective tariffs on Germany's goods."
 * "In 1913, over fifty three percent of all tax revenues was from income, but in 1925, it dropped down to 28%."
 * "Faced with reparation payments they could not afford, Germany began printing exaggerated amounts of money. This threw Germany into a state of super inflation."
 * "Inflation reached the point where millions of marks were worthless. Cartoons of the time depicted people with wheelbarrows full of money who could not buy a loaf of bread."
 * "In Germany, Hitler used the Jewish people as a scapegoat for"..."Germany's problems."
 * "He [Hitler] had someone to blame for the economy and he had a plan for a swift economic recovery. Hitler outlined a plan where in four years he would completely eliminate unemployment throughout Germany."
 * "With Germany at its weakest and most vulnerable point, Hitler took the opportunity to begin his ascent to power."
