The article introduced the reparation clause
The clause impoverished Germany and caused a lot of economic suffering. Hitler rides on this wave of economic misery and preached the politics of hope,restoration and supremacy which was received well by millions of German. This absolute support that Hitler received gave him time to pursue his war objectives fueled by his supremacy claims.
