Slide 6 - Tekstslide

Why was the Treaty of Versailles a cause for WWII?

Slide 7 - Open vraag

The Treaty of Versailles
Why was it a cause?
  • The treaty was too humiliating for most Germans
  • The treaty was too harsh (ex; not being able to pay all the reparations and restoring the economy at the same time)
  • The treaty became part of the stab-in-the-back-myth → The government of the Weimar Republic was blamed for all the new problems since they had accepted the treaty. They had betrayed the German soldiers and German people→ This made way for extreme political parties like the Nazi Party.

Slide 8 - Tekstslide

Why was the economic depression after 1929 a cause for WWII?

Slide 9 - Open vraag

Economic crises
1923
  • hyperinflation in the Weimar Republic.
  • Led to Hitler trying to stage a coup in Munich (which failed).
  • After his imprisonment, he decided to use the democratic system to overthrow the government.
The great depression (1929-1930’s)
  • led to massive unemployment/ homelessness.
  • The Weimar republic was hit very hard because they couldn’t rely on the Dawes Plan anymore.
  • It gave way for anti-democratic parties like the Nazi Party that promised that they would solve everything.

Slide 10 - Tekstslide

Dictatorship of Adolf Hitler
Heim ins Reich = back home to the Reich
  • After WWI Austria-Hungary was split up and in all these new states lived German minorities
  • Germany itself had lost territory and so German inhabitants
  • Hitler tried to convince people that they should establish a Greater German Reich (a large state for all Germans)


Slide 11 - Tekstslide

Dictatorship of Adolf Hitler
The German economy should become self-sufficient, so it wouldn’t need to rely on other countries for supplies.
  • Hitler wanted to conquer Eastern European countries to gain possession of sufficient farmland and raw materials
  • These areas were seen as Lebensraum→ future living space for the Aryan Race.
