how did war and economic depression lead to the rise of fascism in the great depression?

The Treaty of Versailles imposed huge reparations payments on Germany for the damage that was done to France during WW1. The payment of this debt, at the expense of the German standard of living, and the ensuing hyperinflation played a large role in the rise of the National Socialist party.

The 1950s in the United States of America were marked with a sharp rise in the economy for the first time in almost 30 years and return to the 1920s-type consumer society built on credit and boom-times, as well as the baby boom from returning GIs who went to college under the G.I. Bill and settled in suburban America. Most of the internal conflicts that had developed in earlier decades like women's rights, civil rights, imperialism, and war were relatively suppressed or neglected during this time as a world returning from the brink hoped to see a more consistent way of life as opposed to liberalism and radicalism of the 1930s and 1940s. The effect of suppressing social problems in the 50s would have a significant impact on the rest of the twentieth century.\n\nThe 1950s were also marked with a rapid rise in conflict with the United States and the Soviet Union that would heighten the Cold War to an unprecedented level which would include the Arms Race, Space Race, McCarthyism, and Korean War. Stalin's death in 1953 left an enormous impact in Eastern Europe that forced the Soviet Union to create more liberal policies internally and externally. The rise of Suburbia as well as the growing conflict with the East are the two generally accepted reasons for the conservative domination of this decade.

Fascism is typified by totalitarian attempts to impose state control (see corporatism) over all aspects of life: political, social, cultural, and economic. The fascist state regulates and controls (as opposed to nationalizing) the means of production. Fascism exalts the nation, state, or race as superior to the individuals, institutions, or groups composing it. Fascism uses explicit populist rhetoric; calls for a heroic mass effort to restore past greatness; and demands loyalty to a single leader,(see G.W Bush) often to the point of a cult of personality.\n\nThe term fundamentalism in popular usage sometimes refers to any fringe religious group, or to extremist ethnic movements with only nominally religious motivations(i.e.Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell) the term does have a more precise denotation. "Fundamentalist" describes a movement to return to what is considered the defining or founding principles of the religion. It has especially come to refer to any religious enclave that intentionally resists identification with the larger religious group in which it originally arose, on the basis that fundamental principles upon which the larger religious group is supposedly founded have become corrupt or displaced by alternative principles hostile to its identity.

Germany was doing poorly after WWI. They were faced with the entire debt of that war. The economy was falling apart and they needed a strong leader to pull it together. Hitler spoke of socialism, which is a great idea! But, it is impossible because of people's nature. He sold it on that, and got power.

Here's a statistic to blow your mind. The Great Depression caused 1 out of every 3 Americans to be unemployed. Only with Roosevelt's plan of giving them government project work did America rise back up as a renewed superpower.

1.  Roosevelt responded to the Great Depression by creating new federal agencies and making new jobs for people\n\n2  One of those things was creation of the Social Security system, so that old people could retire and leave jobs that could be taken by younger people\n\nBonus:\n\n3.  Roosevelt led the nation during the Second World War.\n\nNow, do you homework!

In attacking the Great Depression he did much to develop a partial welfare state in the United States and to make the federal government an agent of social and economic reform. His administration indirectly encouraged the rise of organized labor and greatly invigorated the Democratic party.

Interesting question.  Would there have been a WWII?  Maybe so. Hitler rose to power because of the conditions existing in Germany, economic and political climate, ie the humiliation of Germany and the rise of nationalism and the belief that Aryans were superior.  Those factors would have still existed in Germany.\n\nWithout Hitler at the top of this evil party, someone would have stepped forward.  If a power vaccuum exists, it will be filled. Hitler didn't put the Third Reich together by himself, the National Socialist German Worker's party did. \n\nThus, I think others would have stepped in.\n\nWould the results of the war have been the same?  Would the Nazi's have tried to liquidate an entire people?  Maybe, since there was a wrongheaded belief that the Jewish people profited in WWI, controlled German banks and stabbed the German Army in the back.\n\nHitler was evil incarnate.  The Nazi Party, too. If Hitler didn't exist, the whole sorry chapter in World history may not have happened, but I fear otherwise.

Like any other nation, a war is costly and, during teh war, production is high and productivity is better than it was before. After the war, there is less need for production (since artillery and war materials are not as necessary). The veterans from the war also come back to the workforce, and the backlash would result in unemployment, whether it be for the veterans or the current workers. Also, due to the German air raids over britain, the cost for reconstruction would hinder other areas of productivity that would boost teh economy. The lack of demand over luxury goods, since people need money to buy other things like food, would lessen still since the people may fear losing their jobs. The overall world economy after world war I was devastating, not only in Great Britain.

Good question, The war had just ended successfully, and that led to the Roaring Twenties. Not sure what you would call it.

hmmmm. that one is tricky. but take ww2 for ex. the war was a big boost for the economy esp. since it started during the depression. it gave people jobs. and helped with the stock market. socially it wasn't so great though it did help people by boosting there moral as in getting jobs. but on the German front it was devastating to Jews and anyone the Germans persecuted. long term it ended up bringing Communism which as we all know isn't that great. so basically you are looking for anything that would be kinda like that where you could see a drastic impact on all fronts. good luck. hope i helped if not sorry.

The main reason actually started back in World War II.  Because many of the richer nations of that time were heavily bombed caused those countries to put much of their resources into rebuilding.  America was the only capitalist nation that did not have to rebuild the country and that gave America a big head start.

During the 1930s, Germany, Italy, and Japan tried to build world empires at the expense of others.  This resulted in a world war as other nations attempted to stop them.  World War II was the most destructive war in human history and became a turning point in history as is resulted in the division of the world into two competing political ideologies: Democracy and Communism.\n\nRise of Fascism\nFascism is the rule of a people by a dictatorial government that is both nationalistic and imperialistic.  Fascist are also anti-communist.  Fascism rose in Italy and Germany due to a severe economic depression that caused widespread poverty.  Benito Mussolini in Italy, and Adolf Hitler in Germany both promised solutions to these problems, and were able to win the support of the masses as they took absolute control over their countries.  Imperialistic goals in Italy, Germany, and Japan resulted in the start of World War II. \n\nThe War\nGermany, Italy, and Japan formed the Axis Powers and waged war against the Allies, composed of Great Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union.  The war was waged across the globe, with major battles taking place in Europe, North Africa, and various Pacific Islands.  War in Europe ended after the destruction of Germany in the Spring of 1945, and ended in the Pacific after the United States dropped two nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan in August of that same year.  World War II is a turning point because it marks the beginning of the Nuclear Age, and because it resulted in the creation of the two Superpowers, the Soviet Union and the United States. \n\nRebuilding Japan and Germany\nRather than repeat the mistake made by the Versailles Treaty which severely punished Germany for World War One, the allies occupied and rebuilt Japan and Germany. During this occupation, democratic governments were established and infrastructure destroyed during the war was rebuilt. West Germany and Japan would go on to become very competitive economically, often being ranked and compared to the United States.\n\nColonialism Ends\nAfter World War Two, self-determination was extended beyond Europe to regions across the world. Former colonial possessions of European nations such as India and French Indochina became sovereign nations, establishing their own governments.\n\nDemocracy vs. Communism\nAfter the war, the United States and other democratic nations formed the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), which was a military alliance against communism.  The Soviet Union, which had gained control of most of Eastern Europe during the war, formed the Warsaw Pact, a military alliance against NATO.  This period of conflict between democratic and communist countries is known as the Cold War.  The two Superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, dominated world events for nearly 50 years after the end of the war.

At the worst point of the Great Depression, in 1933, one in four Americans who wanted to work was unable to find a job. Further, it was not until 1941, when World War II was underway, that the official unemployment rate finally fell below 10%.\n\nYou know you are right I scanned dozens of papers and they all reference the percentage and not the actual 12 million that I am guessing :-)

I know that prohibition was a big one. The recovery from WWI had alot to do with it also, and the depression. We had 65% unemployment in some areas of the Country. America was crippled from Taft's legislation, and the control of the banks. The Banks couldn't cover the money, that was put into their banks, it wasn't there, "HUH". I would start there.

Simply stated, a fascist government always has one class of citizens that is considered superior (good) to another (bad) based upon race, creed or origin.  It is possible to be both a republic and a fascist state. The preferred class lives in a republic while the oppressed class lives in a fascist state. \n\nThe came to power because they were the richer, more powerful group. Through dictatorship, the fascists controlled both Italy and Germany. \n\nhttp://faculty.uml.edu/ccarlsmith/teaching/43.106/lecture_outlines/fascism.htm\n\nthat site will really help.
