jan 1, 1930 - The Great Depression Germany’s economy was already suffering since they had to pay reparations as part of the Treaty of Versailles. The U.S. made a deal to provide Germany with money so that they could pay off their debt but then the U.S. stock market crashed and the U.S. wanted all their money back from Germany. Germany started printing a lot of money in order to pay back the U.S. and then their currency became close to worthless which led to everyone starving and becoming desperate.
