The correct answer is B) Germany still would have gone into a Great Depression because the rest of the world did, so it would have changed nothing.
The statement that supports (or proves) this thesis is "Germany still would have gone into a Great Depression because the rest of the world did, so it would have changed nothing."
It is true that the punishment of Germany by the Allies in the Treaty of
Versailles was one of the major factors that led to the rise of Hitler and World War II. The treaty was signed on June 28, 1919, and represented the end of World War 1. Basically, the Allies agreed that Germany had to pay for damages and reparations caused during the war, and German borders were modified. Of course, this did not like the Germans and with the effects of the Great Depression, these elements hit hard on people like Adolph Hitler and the Nazi party members that were waiting for the proper conditions to take revenge.
