It began to make the Nazi party very influential among the Germans, as it sympathized with Germany's worsening economic state, blaming the Treaty of Versailles, the Americans, the Jews, etc. Soon, the Nazis took control over Germany, igniting the Second World War

The Great Depression led to significant political changes in Germany, weakening the Weimar Republic and enabling the Nazi Party, under Hitler, to rise to power. As unemployment soared, many Germans turned to extremist parties for solutions, resulting in the Nazis becoming the largest party in parliament by 1932. Ultimately, Hitler's appointment as Chancellor in 1933 allowed him to establish a totalitarian regime that suppressed dissent and scapegoated minorities, particularly Jews.
