Franklin Roosevelt and Adolf Hitler both came to power in Germany and the United States in 1933 as their countries were still suffering the effects of World War I and the Great Depression. Unemployment in the US was around 25% while a third of Germany's workforce was idle. Students were asked to read and analyze FDR and Hitler's first speeches as leaders to identify their views on what caused the problems, how they proposed to address unemployment, the economy, agriculture, and foreign policy, and find the common ground in their proposed solutions and visions for their new positions of power.
