1. A rise in stock prices was fueled by confidence that the stock market could only go up, so to “buy on the
margin” (borrow money from a broker to buy stocks) was a sure thing, and the U.S.A (country) became
a source of much postwar lending.
2. By 1933, six million Germans were unemployed, which was one-third of the total workforce, though
women were sometimes better off than men because they were paid less and less likely to be laid off.
3. Stormtroopers (brown shirts/ SA) thought they were reviving German masculinity by committing acts of
violence on communists and Jewish people.
4. Meanwhile, Stalin blamed Kulaks, or well-to-do peasants for food scarcity.
5. Stalin also “wanted to reorganize the agricultural economy by seizing individual farms and converting
them into collective farms that would replace private ownership.”
6. The Ukraine was hit especially hard by collectivization, and the resulting famine likely resulted in the
death of at least 10 million by the mid 1930s.
7. Stalin then tried to purge (Communist code word for execute) members of his own party after “show
trials.”
8. The Five Year Plans accompanied the purges and led to rapid Steel production
9. In fall of 1932, Communists and Nazis won similarly strong support, though the Nazi’s lost a few seats in
Parliament during the election.
10. Conservatives convinced President Hindenberg to appoint
Hitler chancellor because they thought he’d be easier to control than communists.
11. Hitler also tried to create a “Volksgemeinschaft” or people’s community, and excluded many for not being
“properly German.” List three of the targeted groups.
○ Jewish
○ Gay
○ Communist
12. Hitler purged so-called “socalist” or anti-elitist elements of his own party (including the Brown Shirts) in
1934 on the Night of the long knives
13. Hitler intended to pay for deficit spending with future conquests
14. Explain two impacts of the Nuremberg Laws of 1935 had on Jewish people in Germany.
○ Removed german citizenship
○ Barred them from most jobs and from marriage to Aryans
15. In November 1938, the Nazis found an excuse to commit acts of violence and destruction against Jewish
synagogues, businesses, homes and individuals called The night of broken glass
(* also sometimes called Pogromnacht to avoid using the Nazi term, as itt has become pejorative in
Germany. Most AP Euro textbooks still use the term listed here)
16. In 1936, Germany occupied the Rhineland and in 1938 they violated the Peace of Paris by occupying
Austria to cheering crowds, known in German as the peace of Paris (see above).
17. When Hitler claimed the Sudetenland, the Czechoslovakia secured his claim, and Hitler promised peace
in exchange for the “appeasement” of his demands. Then in March of
1939, he annexed the rest of Czechoslovakia
18. Meanwhile, Mussolini sent troops to ethiopia and Japan faked an incident in Manchuria that they used to
take over the area, then invading China in 1937.
19. Francisco Franco led a authoritarian, military uprising in 1936 in Spain.
