The US had been trying to help Germany by loaning money to the country to help out the rest of Europe.

Soon after the Great Depression begins around the world….
• Hitler is elected as Chancellor of Germany
• He is a charismatic speaker who captures the imaginations and hearts of Germans everywhere, just like a coach who rallies his team.
• One of Hitler’s most powerful speeches was given during his State of the Union Address in 1930

What would you do?
• Take out a piece of paper and write at least half of a page telling me what you would have thought of Hitler hearing his speeches. Would you have believed and agreed with him?
• Remember your money is worth nothing, you have no food or shelter, and you cannot provide for your family.
• Also remember this was before WWII so you don’t know about what is going to take place in the future…
