In Germany during the 1930's there were two different powers. There was the Weimar republic (named after the city of Weimar where the post WWI constitution was drafted), and, following the fall of Weimar Germany due to a poor economy and huge unemployment, there was Nazi Germany led by Adolf Hitler. In '32 the Nazi party held power in the Reichstag. After Hitler was appointed chancellor, the German parliament passed the Enabling Acts of 1933 which made Nazi Germany a Totalitarian Dictatorship under Hitlers rule.

Hitler's choices with crossing a lot of lines drawn by countries in the league of nations was part of what caused WWII. The German invasion of Austria and Czechoslovakia exploited the allies policy of appeasement towards Germany.

This topic related to U.S foreign policy because Hitler made a challenge supporting right wing dictators enhancing American and brought up support of authoritarian governments to Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman associations. At first Roosevelt tried to appease Hitler, but then realized Germany was intent upon war. The war promoted democracy and the authoritarian of opposing governments. became U.S policy.
