It decreased quite a lot - According to my notes (class, of course  tongue ), workers brought briefcases to work to be filled with money, which they immediatley spent on buying things like food. (This is probably right, since I see a vocabulary word in your post  tongue )


Tip of the whatever: Don't post in threads older than 2 weeks unless your post will actually be useful.

The only reason people joined him was because they were in so much poverty from WW1 and the American Great Depression.

why would the germans be in poverty from the american great depression?

They were borrowing from America, to pay back America (which really makes no sense) and when America had o money, Germany had no money, and when Germany had no money, Hitler took his stand.

a) that's not the only reason; there were plenty others (many of which were related to the aftermath of World War I)

I know that, those were major reasons.

America is indeed one country they borrowed from, but you've neglected the fact that hyperinflation in Germany occurred from 1921-1923, whereas the Great Depression began in 1929.

He's not even correcting your grammar, so I fail to see how that's relevant.

Re: Quotes

My father once said to me on the drive home from a meeting with the Board of Education (where I had to defend using my diagnosed and medicated clinical depression as an excuse to miss school, but mainly just ended up sassing the county officials), "You might think people are annoying and hard to get along with, but you're just as annoying and hard to get along with as they are." Something like that. I think about it a lot


I would rather be alone than pretend I feel alright
