   After World War I, the Allies felt it was time to punish Germany for making the Great War blow up to the size it become. They took their anger out on Germany with the Treaty of Versailles, the peace agreement after World War I. At the conference, Germany was not even allowed to participate. When the treaty came out, the German people were furious that they were being punished harshly. They lost all colonies, had to pay the Allies war debt, had a limit on their armed forces size, and took full responsibility for starting the war. 

    A government set up after the Treaty, the Weimar Republic, has been functioning since the treaty's approval. The Republic we believe is now on a downfall. The economy of Germany will have a hard time recovering from years of depression and will eventually lead to the beginning of dictator like government that could take revenge on the Allies for their treatment of the surrender of Germany.

    The political parties of the Weimar Republic were divided on everything and not willing to compromise on anything. The only party that was united was the Social Democratic Party but they had no power. The main reason for the downfall was the middle and lower classes of Germany began to vote for right-wing parties as they blamed the Social Democrats for the Treaty of Versailles. The government of Germany  became anything but effective as the parties began to split into dozens of smaller parties. The most prominent of these smaller parties was the National Socialist German Worker's Party or the Nazis.

   The time was considered a time where people's anger was growing to a boil and a leader who could tap into this growing discontent could make use of it for his own needs. That leader was Adolf Hitler.
