The document discusses the rise of dictators in Europe following World War 1 and the economic and political conditions that led to World War 2. It describes how Germany was blamed for WWI and suffered severe economic consequences under the Treaty of Versailles. This led to hyperinflation in Germany and the rise of Adolf Hitler. It also discusses the communist regime of Joseph Stalin in the Soviet Union, and the fascist regime of Benito Mussolini in Italy. Both Stalin and Mussolini consolidated their power and severely oppressed their citizens. The conditions were ripe in Europe for the start of World War 2.

4. Hyperinflation strikes Germany “ By November 5th, 1923 a loaf of bread cost 140 billion marks. Workers were paid twice a day, and given half-hour breaks to rush to the shops with their satchels, suitcases or wheelbarrow, to buy something, anything, before their paper money halved in value yet again. By mid-November, when a new currency was issued, prices had added twelve zeros since the first world war began in 1914.” The Economist

37. First They Came for the Jews First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the Communists and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me. Pastor Martin Niemöller
