Germany's involvement and eventual defeat in [[World War I]] led to a harsh turn in German fortunes.  The resulting "peace" where Germany had to pay huge reparations and take full blame for the war left the nation in tatters and bitter.  From an exchange rate of the Germany deutschmark of 3 to the dollar, it eventually fell to over 1 trillion to the dollar.  The monetary system had collapsed.  The stage was set for a struggling artist to rise up on the scene and eventually take control in a country that was desperate to look up to someone who could deliver.  Their economic boom and decision to fight [[World War II]] once again left the Germany in ruins, and this time it was split in two.
