What did the economic depression of 1929 increase in Germany?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Unemployment and poverty
The governing historical concept is the political impact of the Great Depression on the Weimar Republic. After the economic crisis began in 1929, German businesses failed, banks suffered, industrial production declined and millions of people lost employment. Falling incomes and insecurity increased poverty and public dissatisfaction. These conditions weakened confidence in democratic governments and helped extremist parties, including the Nazis, gain support by promising recovery and strong leadership. Thus option A is correct. Complete prosperity is the opposite of what occurred. The Depression did not restore the monarchy, and it did not end a war; those options do not describe its direct social and economic consequences in Germany.
