Why was Germany hit the hardest during the great depression?
During the Great Depression Germany as a country was hit harder than most other countries. The main reason the great Depression started was that the American stock collapsed. This collapse affected the whole world. The Wall Street Crash of 1929 triggered a worldwide downturn. The recall of US loans, which led Germany's economy to collapse, caused it to suffer more than any other country. Unemployment skyrocketed, poverty levels skyrocketed, and Germans grew desperate.
