Runaway inflation was huge. People would ask to be paid for the morning's work at lunchtime, so they could go out and buy lunch before prices went up so much they couldn't afford lunch.

The industrialisation of warfare had a great impact on World War I. Your essay should explore:\n\n* use of modern factories to meet the need of the combatants on the field and logistics - one of the reasons Russia dropped out was the failure to meet demands of the troops for example;\n\n* use of railways to transport troops to the front;\n\n* use of modern technology such as aircraft and tanks for the first time - it was their use in an integrated manner by  Allied commanders such as Sir John Monash of Australia that would eventually lead to victory in 1918;\n\n* growing role for Government: Government's share of GDP exceeded 50% in Germany and France and appraoached that in the UK and introduction of higher tax systems such as income tax to finance the war.

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.

Go to the German embassy in your country. Your nationality wouldn't change, you always be an Egyptian but with German citizenship. Germany is a good place for young and hard-working foreigners. They need working people to maintain their economy going. Try to avoid the former East German part, the wages are lower and the people don't like the strangers, their mind didn't change enough because of their communist heritage. Their working style didn't change to much but they want the same wages as the others. It is important to speak the language.

The major conflict was the repatriasation of the German Democratic Republic into the Federa Republic. This involved funding rennovations, rebuilding infrastructure, disposing of former state property, privatelization, teaching about the democratic ways of the west, and tearing down social benefits of the former east, among other thigns.

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.

After World War II, Germany was divided into 4 sectors of the powers that occupied Germany at the time being.\n\nAmerican, British, French and Soviet sectors.\n\nBerlin happened to be located where the Soviet sector was but Berlin was itself divided into American, British, French and Soviet sectors with the Soviets in control of the East and the West divided into American, British and French sectors.\n\nThe Soviet sector of Germany became East Germany but the American, British and French sectors of Germany became West Germany.\n\nAmerica, Britain and France maintained a portion of control over their sectors of West Berlin but West Berlin officially became part of West Germany inspite of being surrounded by East Germany.\n\nEast Germans use to flock to West Berlin to reach Freedom until a Wall was built to block any chances of escaping.\n\nBut in 1989 the Berlin Wall began being torn down and in 1990 West and East reunified as one Country with East going under same Government as West, and Berlin was unified as well so in 1991 America, Britain and France gave up whatever power they had left over their sectors of West Berlin.

try "The Great War For Civilisation" by Robert Fisk.  You will need to go back further than 20 years too as the current problems are rooted in the decisions made after the first and second world wars.  This book covers other countries in the Middle East too.

after world war I, germany had to pay a lot of money in reparations to other countries.  they were already low on funds because of war costs - and to add insult to injury, they had to take all the blame for the war.  the german people were feeling very down on themselves, and the nazi party gave them not only a scapegoat for all their problems (the jews), but also the idea that the german people were part of a master race.  the nazis made the germans feel good about themselves again, and promised to end their problems.

Indeed. WWI had left germany crippled and humiliated. German Soldiers were more commited because they knew what loosing meant. Besides, the Germans pretty much followed the Romans they were spread all over europe and north-africa. That is about the same home-ground advantage as a new-yorker has in Alsaka. \n\nThe pre-war German nation was preparing for war. Men joined the army, children joined the Hitler-jugend a boy-scout like nazi pre-school, women bared children to serve the country. Hitler was a madman be he sure organised his nation before going into war. The quality of their gear was beyond that of their rivals, their commitment was the fruit of constant indoctrination. \nMotivation is the key, in battle the most commited always wins.

Well... one of the key features of Marxist Commnism (referring to German writer Karl Marx who published Communist Manifesto in 1848 to rally Socialists under a Communist banner), social classes were eliminated.  This happened to a lower degree under Lenin and Stalin in 20th cent. USSR

I don't think Germany ever felt that way.  The feelings of humiliation that developed due to the loss of WWI and the requirements for Germany under the Treaty of Versailles contributed to the fall of the Weimar republic, the rise of Hitler and thus to World War II.

In 1929 Germany couldn't pay the high reparation costs to France that had been decided in the Treaty of Versailles. So France invaded the Ruhr area of Germany, where there was lots of industry, and diverted all of the profits of this area to France.\n\nBecause this meant there was now very little money in Germany, the Weimar Government (of Germany) printed lots of extra money. This resulted in 'hyperinflation' (where there is so much money that it becomes worthless) and meant that people lost all their savings overnight and went bankrupt.\nThis website explains it very clearly:

At the end of WWI, the US very much wanted to help rebuild and bring Germany back into the fold-in fact rebuilding Europe as a more integrated continent was forfront the the US devising of the League of Nations.  Unfortunately, the other allies very much wanted to punish Germany, to teach it a lesson, since they are still stuck in the "great powers" mindset.  This devastated the country, and allowed the growth of a "victim" mentality-used against Jews as internal enemies and the other European countries as external enemies.  At the end of WWII, the US was in a position this time to dictate that Germany would be rebuilt and reintegrated.  Though we don't like to see anything particularly good about Stalin's Russia (and there werent that many good things) they also kept punishment to a minimum, and integrated East Germany into their system..the cause of the poor conditions in East Germany was much more a factor of the system than it was of any punishment.  The German people themselves have maintained a very clear and active analysis of their collective guilt, which has been far more effective in resolving issues than external punishment.
