Weimar and Nazi Germany 1918-1939
25 eLearning modules · CPD Certified · SCORM
From 1918 to 1939, Germany experienced dramatic political and social upheaval. After World War I, the Weimar Republic was established, facing economic crises, political extremism, and public discontent. Hyperinflation, the Great Depression, and the Treaty of Versailles fueled instability. Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party exploited this unrest, gaining power in 1933. Once in control, Hitler dismantled democracy, established a totalitarian regime, and began persecuting Jews and other minorities. The Nazis rebuilt the military, violated the Treaty of Versailles, and pursued aggressive expansionism, leading to the outbreak of World War II in 1939. Nazi ideology shaped all aspects of life.
