The Treaty of Versailles helped pave the way for the Nazi party to gain control of Germany by creating resentment and anger among the German people. Many German people were very resentful of their government (the Weimar Government) for having signed the peace Treaty in June 1919, since the terms of the Treaty were indeed very harmful to Germany: it took territory from the country, it forced it to pay reparations, and (and this term really caused indignation about the Germans) it blamed it and her allies for having started the war.
Since the Weimar Government was not popular and the country was facing tremeduous economic and social problems, the Nazis were able to gain the support of the German people, and eventually had the control of Germany.

Hoover's main goal was to restore confidence in the economy and the banking system. He authorized loans to farmers with the Agriculture Marketing Acting and businessmen wouldn't they wouldn't go bankrupt, they were expected o be paid back. For the most part, he advocated "rugged individualism". He believed government handouts to the poor and unemployed greatly damaged the self-esteem of the recipients. One major Hoover initiative, the Smoot- Hawley Tariff of 1930, proved to be disastrous for the US and world economies. And as the situation in the US deteriorated, the US constitution passed the Emergency Relief and the Reconstruction Act. Hoover disagreed with it and used his powers as president to slow its implementation. He pushed a different bill that he created, the Reconstruction Finance Act. He plan too little, too late. He lost favor with the American people.
There is significantly much more that Roosevelt did, I will narrow most down.
Roosevelt's mandate for change was so sweeping that he immediately went to work to restore the confidence in the US economic system. His program was called The New Deal. Roosevelt's overall strategy for combating the Depression was to provide relief to those who needed it most and to re-structure the US economy from the bottom up. The first thing the did was declare a "Bank Holiday". All banks in the US were closed indefinitely, until the banks and the government could control the situation. Theres so much more but Im sure you don't want a full blown essay.
