In 3–5 sentences, evaluate how economic and political problems in Germany after World War I led to the establishment of a fascist government under Adolf Hitler in the 1930s.(4 points)
The economic problems in Germany after World War I, such as hyperinflation and unemployment, resulted in widespread social unrest and a loss of faith in the democratic Weimar Republic. This created an environment ripe for a strong, authoritarian leader to emerge. Adolf Hitler capitalized on this discontent, promising economic stability and national renewal through his fascist ideology. Additionally, political turmoil and divisions within the country further weakened the democratic institutions, allowing Hitler and the Nazi Party to rise to power and establish a fascist government.
