Question

describe the economic hardships that germany suffered in the time period after world war 1. what was the political effect of these problems?

Answer 1

Germany had been blockaded during the war (the Allies didn't let food and fertilizer through), and many of its citizens were still starving afterward. 
As a new democracy, German bureaucracy was rather inefficient.
These problems eventually led to Hitler becoming the leader of Germany (he promised to solve them, and he blamed the Jews for other problems), which led to World War 2.
