False

The book claims that two major factors caused the unemployment in Germany to rise from 1.3 million in 1929 to 6 million in 1932. What were they?

Stresemman's death and the Wall Street Stock Market Crash
The Wall Street Stock Market Crash and the Kapp Putsch failure

Correct Answer

A. Stresemman's death and the Wall Street Stock Market Crash

Explanation

The correct answer is Stresemman's death and the Wall Street Stock Market Crash. Stresemman's death refers to the death of Gustav Stresemann, a prominent German statesman, in 1929. He played a key role in stabilizing the German economy after World War I, and his death created a leadership vacuum that hindered economic stability. The Wall Street Stock Market Crash, which occurred in 1929, caused a global economic downturn, leading to a decrease in international trade and a decline in German exports. These two factors combined contributed to the significant rise in unemployment in Germany during the period mentioned.
