economic difficulty

• ANALYSIS (FOR)

  Repeated economic problems

  in the 1920s caused Germans

  to lose faith with democracy.

  Instead they supported groups

  – such as the Nazis – that

  opposed democracy and

  promised change.
• ANALYSIS (AGAINST)

  The Nazi’s were not the only

  party whose support

  increased due to the economic

  problems.

  The Communists also saw a

  surge in their support from

  the working classes.
• EVALUATION (FOR)

  • Nazi support fell when the German economy was strongest
  • Some historians argue that without the Depression, Hitler would have never come to power
