Poverty, humiliation and the conditions imposed by the treaty of Versailles at the end of WWI established conditions that enabled Hitler to rise to power. We discussed the following topics on Thursday and Friday:
1. The background of Adolf Hitler
2. Hitler's rise to power from the failed Munich Beer Hall Putsch to the rise of the Nazi Party in the 1932 elections, the Enabling Act, etc.
3. The actions taken by Germany in the 1930's (remilitarization, Austria, Munich Pact, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Western Europe)

Great Issues
Thursday and Friday were both days of research and work in composing the National Debt memos. You should research and compose a response to the following requirements:
1. How severe is the problem?
2. What proposed solutions have been issued by notable political entities?
3. What are the pros and cons of these solutions?
4. What solutions would you propose?
These memos are due Tuesday. You will be expected to give a short presentation of your findings.
