The reason for this was because part of the treaty was to pay off war reparations.  To try and quickly pay off the debt, Germany started to print more bills.  This did not help Germany at all.  In fact, as a result of this, the German economy started to collapse. Before World War One started, 4.2 German Marks equaled 1 USD.  In 1923, 4.2 trillion German Marks equaled 1 USD.  It became to hard for parents to buy their children toys so the parents gave their kids stacks of bills to pay with instead.  Workers had to show to work with wheelbarrows to collect their food. As a result of this Germans began to get mad at and question their government. Adolph Hitler had an opportunity. ]]> 2018-05-02 16:02:20 UTC https://padlet.com/eaburns/BurnsPeriod4/wish/257323770 Works Cited eaburns https://padlet.com/eaburns/BurnsPeriod4/wish/257332615 Works Cited

He spoke publicly and captivated his audiences with promise for change.  Hitler appealed mostly to lower and middle class Germans. The Nazis rose to power very quickly. In 1924, the Nazis won only 3% of the vote. By 1932, the Nazis won 33% of the vote and had more votes than any other party in Germany. On January 30, 1933. From this point on, Hitler started to make laws persecuting against Jews and laws to get more Nazis into the government. On August 2, 1934, Paul von Hindenburg, the president of Germany died and Hitler and the Nazis gained almost full control of the government.]]> 2018-05-02 16:35:39 UTC https://padlet.com/eaburns/BurnsPeriod4/wish/257341116 Kristallnacht eaburns https://padlet.com/eaburns/BurnsPeriod4/wish/257717580 As Hitler started to slowly but systematically took over Germany, he slowly started to take over Germany.  The Nazis stopped serving Jews in their shops and burned their books.  Up until Kristallnacht, these acts were mostly non violent. On the night of November 9, 1938, Nazis torched and vandalized Jewish schools, homes, stores, hospitals businesses, and especially synagogues. They also killed over 100 Jews. This became known as Kristallacht or night of the broken glass. ]]> 2018-05-03 15:44:19 UTC https://padlet.com/eaburns/BurnsPeriod4/wish/257717580 Germany Invades Poland eaburns https://padlet.com/eaburns/BurnsPeriod4/wish/257740477 On the morning of September 1, 1939, German battleships, tanks, airplanes, and troops attacked by land, air, and sea. This started World War Two. No country came to Poland's aid until September 3rd and on September 15th, Germany defeated Poland using a military strategy called Blitzkrieg.

The Holocaust was where the Nazis killed over 6 million Jews. The Nazis used camps like Auschwitz to do most of the killing. The Nazis were so obsessed with killing Jews that they would hunt down the Jews that escaped their clutches. After the Nazis were stopped, many Nazi leaders were sentenced to death at the Nuremberg trials.]]> 2018-05-04 15:15:53 UTC https://padlet.com/eaburns/BurnsPeriod4/wish/258069537 First They Came eaburns https://padlet.com/eaburns/BurnsPeriod4/wish/258076420 This is a poem about the Holocaust:

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—


Because I was not a Socialist.


Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—


Because I was not a Trade Unionist.


Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—


Because I was not a Jew.


Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Their goal was to completely take over all of Europe and murder all Jews. The reason that this is in fact a revolution is because it affected millions of people across the world. The Nazis killed 6 million Jews, about 60 million people died in World War 2, and all of the people in Germany had do deal with the Nazis as their leaders.]]> 2018-05-04 15:48:07 UTC https://padlet.com/eaburns/BurnsPeriod4/wish/258078936
