Hitler: The Birth of the Nazi Party
Here are potential responses to the questions:
1. Hyperinflation devastated German living standards according to charts 3 and 4. Wages rose but could not keep pace with skyrocketing prices, so real wages declined sharply.
2. Food costs rose faster than rent because food is a necessity that people need to buy regularly, while rent contracts were often fixed for longer periods, protecting landlords.
3. Chart 4 shows that during hyperinflation, Germans could no longer afford meat, fish, fruit and luxury foods. Staples like bread, potatoes and fat became the main diet.
4. Pensioners were devastated because their fixed pensions did not increase with inflation, so their buying power was rapidly er
The Spanish American War - Context
1) In the late 19th century, many Americans believed the US should expand its global influence and territory through imperialism. An influential editor said the US was "destined to exercise a controlling influence upon the actions of mankind."
2) Economic problems like the 1893 depression and a perceived "closing of the frontier" led many to support expansion as a solution. This included gaining new markets and resources through building a canal, expanding borders, or an "open door policy" of informal economic empire.
3) The Spanish-American War over Cuban independence provided an opportunity for expansion into territories like Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines, despite the Teller Amendment barring annexation of Cuba.
