Secrets of World War II - Why Did WW2 Start?
In fact, the First world war and the Second world war are siblings.
The Treaty of Versailles, signed at the end of WW1, placed some very harsh restrictions on Germany, which created a feeling of resentment among the Germans. Due to the financial depression of the 1920’s, Germany simply did not have the funds to pay the reparation fees demanded by the treaty.
The government started printing more money for debt payments and foreign currency purchases.As the emission increased, the German mark was rapidly losing its value.
Prices ran out of control, for example a loaf of bread, which cost 250 marks in January 1923, had risen to 200,000 million marks in November 1923. Prices doubled every three to four days. By autumn 1923 it cost more to print a note than the note was worth. The money was so worthless that, as you can see in the pictures, it was used as a toy material or wall decoration. During the crisis, workers were often paid twice per day because prices rose so fast their wages were virtually worthless by lunchtime. In short, Why was World War 2 started ?
