The Nightmare German Inflation

  One day everything was fine.
The next day hell was unleashed.
          Julian Pendenza
INTRODUCTION
HOW IT BEGAN
•   World War 1
•   Bad Decision
CAUSE OF DEBT
INFLATION
MARK LOSING ALL IT’S VALUE
OUTCOME
QUESTIONS:
1.    What was the reason that lead Germany to deciding to borrow money to pay for their war
     expenses?
2. What countries did Germany owe money to after WWI?
3. Was the inflation beneficial for some German citizens, if so who?
4. Why did the value of Mark decreasing rapidly?

5. In your opinion, how did the Inflation lead to the uprising of Adolf Hitler
NOTES
•   Before World War I Germany was well off country that was in good shape. The German Mark, the German currency at the time, was exchanged four or five to the dollar. That was in
    1914. In 1923, at the worst moment of the German hyperinflation, the exchange rate between the dollar and the Mark was one tr illion Marks to one dollar, and a wheelbarrow full of
    money would not even buy a newspaper. Most Germans were taken by surprise by the financial tornado.

•   In order to pay the large costs of ww1, most countries, imposed its first income tax to pay for the war, but Germany, thinking the war was going to be short decided without opposition
    to fund the war entirely by borrowing.

•   the "London ultimatum" , payments that Germany were required to pay, in May 1921 demanded reparations in gold or foreign currency to be paid in an nual installments of
    2,000,000,000 (2 billion) goldmarks plus 26 percent of the value of Germany's exports.

•   The first payment was paid when due in June 1921 that was the beginning of an increasingly rapid devaluation of the Mark which fell to less than one third of a cent by November
    1921 (approx. 330 Marks per US Dollar). The total reparations demanded was 132,000,000,000 (132 billion) goldmarks which was far more than the total German gold and foreign
    exchange.

•   Its easy to see why Germany was in such great debt

•   The inflation was triggered by a huge increase in the nation's money supply, caused in part by the heavy demands of the repar ations placed upon Germany following its loss in World
    War I. Soon an inflationary mentality set in. Merchants would raise prices automatically. People would hoard goods, figuring the price would go up, thus causing shortages. The vast
    quantities of money were issued not only by the German central bank (The Reichsbank), but also by numerous communities, cities, states and companies, only compounded the
    inflation.

•   Imagine that after a lifelong of hard work and saving, you find that your lifesavings will not buy more than one cup of coffe e.

•   Also at the time, the value of the mark just kept on decreasing by the day. The German government felt that it was in their best interest to print more notes, but it only made it
    worse.

•   Finally Germany decided to fix their financial situation by creating a new type of currency called the rentenmark and the inflation decrease a lot during the year 1924. Although the
    inflation diminished, it was believe to be a cause for the power given to Adolf Hitler, but that’s a totally different subjec t.

  • 8. QUESTIONS: 1. What was the reason that lead Germany to deciding to borrow money to pay for their war expenses? 2. What countries did Germany owe money to after WWI? 3.

  • 9. NOTES • Before World War I Germany was well off country that was in good shape. The German Mark, the German currency at the time, was exchanged four or five to the dollar. That was in 1914. In 1923, at the worst moment of the German hyperinflation, the exchange rate between the dollar and the Mark was one tr illion Marks to one dollar, and a wheelbarrow full of money would not even buy a newspaper. Most Germans were taken by surprise by the financial tornado. • In order to pay the large costs of ww1, most countries, imposed its first income tax to pay for the war, but Germany, thinking the war was going to be short decided without opposition to fund the war entirely by borrowing. • the "London ultimatum" , payments that Germany were required to pay, in May 1921 demanded reparations in gold or foreign currency to be paid in an nual installments of 2,000,000,000 (2 billion) goldmarks plus 26 percent of the value of Germany's exports. • The first payment was paid when due in June 1921 that was the beginning of an increasingly rapid devaluation of the Mark which fell to less than one third of a cent by November 1921 (approx. 330 Marks per US Dollar).

The vast quantities of money were issued not only by the German central bank (The Reichsbank), but also by numerous communities, cities, states and companies, only compounded the inflation. • Imagine that after a lifelong of hard work and saving, you find that your lifesavings will not buy more than one cup of coffe e. • Also at the time, the value of the mark just kept on decreasing by the day. The German government felt that it was in their best interest to print more notes, but it only made it worse. • Finally Germany decided to fix their financial situation by creating a new type of currency called the rentenmark and the inflation decrease a lot during the year 1924. Although the inflation diminished, it was believe to be a cause for the power given to Adolf Hitler, but that’s a totally different subjec t.
