2. What was the connection between Germany's defeat in World War I and the rise of anti- Semitism in Germany in the 1930s? (development of events)

Answer 1

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

The connection between Germany's defeat in World War I and the rise of anti-Semitism in Germany in the 1930s can be found in the rise to power of Nazi leader Adolph Hitler in 1933.

The Weimar Republic had failed and the German people were desperate because they had no money and the democracy the Republic had tried to establish, did not work out well. Germany did not have enough money to pay for teh World War I reparations as agreed in the Treaty of Paris, and there was so much discontent.

Everything was set to the arrival of Adolph Hitler who had extreme and supremacist ideas since he had written his book titled "My Struggle" a classic book of National Socialists ideas in which is included anti-Semitism ideas.
