In the United States, the 1920s were known as the "Roaring Twenties" because the stock market was at an absolute high and the economic future seemed very bright. This of course was not the case.
Germany were going through a sad time and they had someone telling them that everything was going to be fixed, so they listened. They knew if they said terms they would be going through more sad times.
