Answer:
Possible Answers:
The world had a truly global economy. All nations engaged in trade, so when something affected one nation, all nations were affected.
Industries in many countries relied on investment money from the United States.
Americans in the Depression were no longer able to buy goods made in other nations, hurting industries all over the world.
Stalin’s five-year plan imposed a policy that farmers needed to equally share the profits of large government-owned farms. Also, farmers were not allowed to use food they produced until it met government quotas to ensure equal distribution. Because of these policies, farmers refused to farm, moved to cities to find work, and left a shortage of agricultural workers and production.
Fascism
Hitler attracted people who were pessimistic after the humiliating peace treaty—the Treaty of Versailles—that identified Germany as responsible for the Great War and assigned reparation payments to the Allies. Reparations caused hyperinflation of the early 1920s which wiped out the savings of the middle class and brought about the Great Depression. Adolf Hitler promised an end to all those misfortunes by creating a new order that would lead to greatness for Germany.
