3. Know what the feelings were of the German people and the world
toward the treatment of Germany in the Treaty of Versailles. LAGER.he Germans were humiliated, ashamed, and just down right pissed at the allies after the Treaty of Versailles. In the Treaty they admitted to being the instigators and aggressors of World War I (or the Great War as it was called at the time). And since they were the aggressors and had to sign and take full responsibility for instigating the war they also had to pay all the war debts - which was impossible because the Germans could not even pay for their own food. Germany was not doing so great during the war when they didn't have that debt to pay. People were starving even then. By the time the surviving German soldiers came home from war there were people fighting for food that was meant for garbage.
Hitler, if you read in his book, was very angry about this. The fact that the people were starving and so on set a stage for him to gain power about 15 years later. He became head of the nationalist socialist party and eventually took control of Germany and you know the story from there. He blamed the Allies for Germany's deep depression following World War I and the disgrace of the German people.

The Nazis appealed to a wide range of people, but especially the 'middling' sort of people, and the party grew rapidly in the years of crisis 1919-1923.
After the disaster of the Munich Putsch, and during the prosperity of the Stresemann years, however, support for the Nazis fell. During this time Hitler believed that he could be elected to power. He used these years to develop and strengthen the party's organisation.
