Yahir Oneill · Answer 1

Compared with the United States, the unemployment rate in Germany between 1928 and 1933 was higher.

Explanation:

Protagonist between the capitalist economies from the closing of World War I, the United States maintained strong commercial relations with the great majority of the countries of the world. This strengthened the US economy and reduced unemployment.

We can not say the same for some Western European nations where unemployment rates were high, especially in already weakened economies such as Germany. Between 1928 and 1933, hyperinflation had eroded the purchasing power of the German mark and unemployment reached more than a third of the workers.

Higher

Explanation:

During this period, the United States was already entering an economic recession which followed the period of wealth and opulence that characterized the 1920s. However, despite this economic problems, the unemployment rate in Germany from 1928 to 1933 was always higher than that of the United States. This was because Germany was still dealing with the aftermath of WWI. The country had not successfully been rebuilt, and the economy was burdened due to the massive reparations the country had to pay for. This dire economic situation was one of the catalysts for the rise of the Nazi Party.
