how were the effects of the great depression in germany and the soviet union reduced by their fascist and communist governments
Answers
Answer:
The German economy, like those of many other western nations, suffered the effects of the Great Depression with unemployment soaring around the Wall Street Crash of 1929.[1] When Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of Germany in 1933, he introduced policies aimed at improving the economy. The changes included privatization of state industries, autarky (national economic self-sufficiency), and tariffs on imports. Although weekly earnings increased by 19% in real terms[2] in the period between 1932 and 1938, average working hours had also risen to approximately 60 per week by 1939. Furthermore, reduced foreign trade meant rationing in consumer goods like poultry, fruit, and clothing for many Germans.[3]
Answer:
When Hitler came into power, he ordered the building of Civilian Factories and Military factories. He refused to pay the MEFO bills, and Germany would become an industrial superpower and rise out of debt.
Joseph Stalin, ruling with an iron fist would turn the agricultural based economy into an industrial economy. Just like Hitler, he ordered Civilian and Military factories to be constructed, behind the Ural mountains, which separates Europe and Asia. The Soviet Union spent more on the Military than the People, and the People in small towns and poor corrupt cities would often starve.
