The Great Depression struck the world in 1929. Massive unemployment and economic problems soon began. When Hitler came to power
in 1933, what was one way he dealt with the terrible economic situation? a) The government created jobs in the armed forces (as soldiers) and also in the armament factories (producing weapons in mass quantities)
b) The Nazi government signed a special lend-lease agreement with the United States in exchange for German technology patents
c) Hitler decided he needed to go to war to get access to resources
d) Hitler signed an economic deal with the capitalist powers (UK, USA and France) in exchange for the Nazis to continue with their anti-communist policy against the Soviet Union
That's why he went to war, to get resources and show Germany power but he also didn't believe in democracy which why he didn't ask for help from any other countries, instead he just took it.
Yeah like the question said they were competing for resources there wasn’t much of land so they were pretty much fighting each other for more land because land equals power in every historical instance.
