• • German Chancellor Brüning, helpless in the face of these problems, was dubbed ‘the hunger chancellor’ by his critics. In July 1930 Brüning cut government spending, wages and unemployment pay, which only made the economic problems worse.
• • The Reichstag under Brüning was in chaos. Many middle-class Germans decided that the country needed a stronger government and so President Hindenburg dismissed Brüning in 1932. Franz von Papen was appointed Chancellor.
