Question

Fascism’s stress on the greatness of the nation may have appealed to Germans who were

struggling with high inflation

anxious to recover from the devastation of war

angry and humiliated by the harsh treatment Germany received after World War I

Answer 1

All three. Nationalist/fascist rhetoric appealed because it promised to restore pride and stability to a population that was
- struggling with hyperinflation and economic chaos,
- anxious to rebuild after the devastation of World War I, and
- angry and humiliated by the Treaty of Versailles and Allied treatment.

Those grievances made messages about national greatness, strong leadership, and revenge or recovery especially attractive.
