The document discusses how Germany was affected by the Wall Street crash of 1929 and the ensuing Great Depression. It notes that Germany's economy was already weak before the crash due to short term loans. When the crash occurred, American bankers recalled loans to Germany, eliminating a key source of funds. This exacerbated Germany's economic woes, causing unemployment to rise sharply as businesses closed and exports declined drastically. The social and political impacts within Germany intensified as unemployment spread to workers across many industries. Economic hardship grew and discontent with the Weimar government increased.
The Treaty of Versailles was the most important of the peace treaties that brought World War I to an end. The Treaty ended the state of war between Germany and the Allied Powers. It was signed on 28 June 1919 in Versailles, exactly five years after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. The other Central Powers on the German side of World War I signed separate treaties. Although the armistice, signed on 11 November 1918, ended the actual fighting, it took six months of Allied negotiations at the Paris Peace Conference to conclude the peace treaty. The treaty was registered by the Secretariat of the League of Nations on 21 October 1919.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Why do you think the Golden
Years officially came to an end
in 1929?
Shortly before Gustav Stresemann died in
1929 he stated:
“The economic position is only flourishing
on the surface. Germany is in fact
dancing on a volcano. If the short-term
credits are called in, a large section of
our economy would collapse.”

about the German economy in 1929?

5. The Great Depression
LO: To

Germany was
affected by the
Wall Street Crash
of 1929
• In October 1929, share prices
began to fall on the Wall Street
Stock exchange
• Falling shares meant people’s
investments fell in value
• Worried about losing money,
people rushed to sell their shares
before their value fell any further
• On ‘Black Tuesday’, 24 October
1929, 13 million shares were sold
• This panic selling made things
worse, and sent prices even lower
• Shares worth $20,000 in the
morning were worth $1000 by the
end of the day’s trading
• Within a week, investors had lost
over $4000million

Its affects on Germany
LO: To
understand how
Germany was

Wall Street Crash
of 1929
• Bankers and Financiers in the USA recalled the
loans made to Germany under the Dawes Plan
in 1924 which left Germany with no money.
• International trade decreased rapidly, which
meant Germany could not get any funds from
exports.
• As a result, Germany did not need to produce
so much, so factories closed and employers
sacked workers.
• This also affected German farmers, who were
not in a good position to start with.

10. The Great Depression
Many people within Germany were said to be ‘doubly bitter’ with
the Weimar Government. This was the second time that the
government had thrown Germany into large scale economic
depression, the first time being during the period of hyperinflation in
1923
How far do you think that the German
Government can be blamed for the
economic depression that hit Germany
after the Wall Street Crash?

12. Businessmen saw their businesses close. People had less money to
spend on goods so demand fell, leading to profits also falling.
Businesses had to either sack people or shut down.
As businesses closed, unemployment rose. 40% of all Factory Workers
were unemployed by 1932. At the same time the government cut
unemployment benefit to save money. For the unemployed this was
a time of extreme poverty.
Farmers had not done well in the 1920s. Agriculture in Germany had
been suffering for a number of years. Prices had been falling since
1925. In the 1930s farmers slipped further into debt. Farmers sold their
land or struggled in poverty.
Young People could not find work. In 1933 over half of all Germans
between the ages of 16 and 30 were unemployed. Sixty per cent of
new university graduates could not get a job.
Middle classes lost their businesses, savings and investments. Many
lost money as the banks collapsed whilst others had to shut down
their businesses as their loans were recalled. They also suffered when
Bruning put up taxes.
