Question

Why was German economy worst hit by 1932

Answer 1

the end of the First World War, Germany became a democratic republic known as the Weimar Republic. The government was unable to deal with the economic crisis left by the war.

In 1923, France occupied the Ruhr Valley, the heartland of German industry, because Germany was unable to pay war reparations demanded by the Treaty of Versailles. The new Weimar Chancellor (like president) or Prime Minister succeeded in getting France to withdraw, and America loaned Germany money to stabilize the German economy.

The economic situation in Germany briefly improved between 1924-1929. However, Germany in the 1920s remained politically and economically unstable. The Weimar democracy could not withstand the disastrous Great Depression of 1929.
