What Was Life Like For The Average Person in Weimar Germany? - How History Works 

I think you are equating individual personal tragedy with macro national events. I doubt Nazi Germany was a better choice in this context as well...

@@Lobos222 when enough individuals are starving it is macro. If you deny the hardship and pain of weimar then you're delusional. It was a great place for academics, foreign elites, and politicians and if that's what makes a successful nation you'll see the results in time.

@@Lobos222you’d be wrong

@@donkeydeck5263 Nazi Germany was flattened. They killed their own people, sacrificed millions etc. Hardly a better choice.

RU-vid doesn't allow honest historical content re. this era or the one that followed. You know who decides these things. Unfortunate for the rest of us.

That's not your voice who's is it?

@@reed-l-fisch tried going with someone else to start. Figured I’d stick with me since it’s easy

@@HowMoneyWorks definitely understandable wanting to try something new especially when you are trying to scale a channel. My guess is that you probably tried to give him a script and then he tried to deliver it in a way like you would. Love your content especially for “How Money Works” but try to be true to who you are and what you like doing. You voice has become iconic in my brain and hearing someone else’s reading lines that you wrote feels wrong to us as the audience. My advice is be careful with using other narrators and creating second channels they can be successful but it’s really tough. Nerdstalgic switched narrators and it absolutely killed the channel and Simon Whistler is an absolute shill with the amount of channels he has (a good example of keeping the same narrator but different writers.) Definitely get your bag and make more revenue streams but as an audience member, I’d advise be careful about distancing yourself from the actual content. We like your takes on things and your narration and when it strays from that it can be difficult to be interested. Love the content and keep up the great work!

@@josephbabcock7903 that’s solid advice, and I guess I’ll just stay with me then :)

+1 I watch your videos to hear your voice

Wow you are historically illiterate

It was both

Making the art of the era all the more fascinating. Like the Neue Sachlichkeit.

Ok, brown shirt...

Remember the socialists and leftist rabble don't like that fact.

LGBTQ people will never be erased

@@snecilia9601 of course, who will be sent to coal mines? We need them

@snecilia9601 No one is trying to erase you; just be normal citizens and stop trying to fuck kids. Stop making your entire identity where you stick your genitals and stop pretending you're oppressed - it's 2023

Thanks Daniel! Appreciate the kind words

@@HowHistoryWorks What about sexual degeneracy in Weimar Germany?

​@@JohnGeometresMaximosThat was the good part

​@@JohnGeometresMaximos the nazis didn't like it, I like it.

​@@CMGThePersonchild brothels:

He's already narrating one channel, unlike Jake Tran who stopped doing it. In another response he said narrating so much is troubling him

No it was a dystopia and it was arguably less democratic than the German Empire

Just like now

"deviants''

What do you expect they were bankrupt and in massive debt to America

France literally defaulted on its debt payments to the United Kingdom

Thanks for pointing out the problem with debt repayment. One explanation for this ( I am sure there are many are many factors) is that Germany from across the shattered political spectrum, never accepted responsibility for WW1. Most Germans believed the responsibility lay elsewhere. To look at this issue more closely, its worthwhile having a look at the Franco German rivalry leading the the 1870 war. Bismarck's whole political philosophy was built around isolating the Gauls. After 1870-1871 war, France was in a vengeful mood.

During the time of the Weimar Republic historians estimate Germany paid somewhere between 15 and 25 billion "goldmarks" (allied governments estimated 21.8 Billions by the way)- which is estimated to be 150-250 Billion Euros in modern currency or somewhere between 2 and 4 % of the total national income of Germany during all years of the Weimar Republic combined. In addition, modern Germany paid about 14 Billion DM between 1949 and 1983 and an additional ~ 4 billion € between 1990 and 2010

@@hmhmoinsdk Germany financed its reparation payments to Western creditor nations with American loans en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_I_reparations In 1990 to 2010, Germany paid the outstanding interest that had accrued on its foreign debt in the years 1945 to 1952.

@@WagesOfDestruction ah yes ... the american loans ... i assume when france just took wagons full of coal they were financed by american loans that werent even there yet? also "This figure would rise to 2.5 billion marks per year by the fifth year of the plan. A Reparations Agency was established with Allied representatives to organize the payment of reparations. Furthermore, a loan of 800 million marks was to be raised-over 50 per cent coming from the United States, 25 per cent from Britain, and the balance from other European nations-to back the German currency and to aid in the payment of reparations" 2.5 Billion per years > 800 million once? it should also be noted that even if all payments were made with american loans (which they werent ) the impact of the need to pay those loans back would have hurt the german economy . last but not least even if we assumed that it was true germany that germany only paid with american debts "germany agreed to repay 50 per cent of the loan amounts that had been defaulted on in the 1920s, but deferred some of the debt until West and East Germany were unified. In 1995, following reunification, Germany began making the final payments towards the loans. A final installment of US$94 million was made on 3 October 2010, settling German loan debts in regard to reparations."

@@hmhmoinsdk, what evidence do you have of these American loans being paid? I like this line of a "A final installment of US$94 million was made on 3 October 2010, settling German loan debts in regard to reparations." that is repayment?

I can’t find it either

That’s a fair idea. Tbh, just me as narrator is getting exhausting

Probably people are more likely to comment to get something changed rather than to tell you they feel positive or neutral, so that skews feedback. Add to that, that we evolved psychologically to give more weight to negative experiences, so your perception of how the change was received could skew even more. So it might not be as bad as it seems. Regardless, it's better all round if you don't burn yourself out. If they understand why, I think most people would accept a change. But people don't know what your experience is unless you tell them.

Also *hugs* ❤️

Like what?

Full of Satanism.

Yours truly is narrating it now

@@HowHistoryWorks yeah, I recognized that sexy voice the second I watched the next video. I mean your content was still writtent too good not to watch but your voice works a lot better for my adhd because it sounds more interesting and snaps my attention back if I zone out.

No Churchill did the Holocaust

@@avus-kw2f213 Explain? Your joking?

of course. I was messing around because banks have far more control over who we become than is appropriate. deflationary depression causes socialist movements because wealth has largely been destroyed as credit defaults happen and hyperinflation breeds nationalism because asset holders have everything and working folks don't have as much as they need

@@youngone1985interesting take my friend, out of personal curiosity could you give more examples of deflation giving rise to socialist movements and nationalist/inflation? And possibly counter examples if you know any? This would be a great thing for me to hyper fixate on

@galwhite7011 The more resources are "apparently" available as would appear in hyperinflation people experience having more just no where nearly enough. So they seek deny those undeserving or not belonging to get back those portions that could help them "keep up." This is nationalism. Conversely, if prices and assets are crashing, as in deflationary depression, imbalances are viewed as hoarding, which is seen as endangering another's wellbeing, and socialism becomes far more attractive. This is a fascist polarity that swings very quickly near the end of the currency's life and ultimate debt capacity of nations and people against real productivity. To elaborate, the United Nations found that when food cost exceeds, 30% of income unrest breaks out. Moreover, it's no accident that medeval peasants paid 30% of their productivity to fedual lords, and American's effective tax rate is the same. There is a psychology to how we handle the apparent allocation of resources by the numbers. Getting back to the point, this fascist polarity is just seen as a business cycle or reemerging human behaviors (i.e. hypergany) as a result of changing times until... the nationalist and socialist start singing the same tune. NAZI, national socialist. I'll need to create a podcast to give you examples and counter examples because this concept is a thing likely foreign to you. I would need a lot more time to connect, explain, and reorder common world views to show how what banks and governments do with money breeds victimization, which is essential what's called hate. All who ever hated did so with the justification that they suffered some offense. The socialist and nationalist typical come together when they feel victimization the most, i.e. there's too small minority underneath their station, and they become the bottom. This has implications for helping the poor, forgiving debts, immigration, etc...but most of all, it best explains to me why the holocaust went so far so fast. The American economy was literally a saving grace for a while until it collasped. Sounds familiar?

"Germany gave Austria-Hungary full support to invade Serbia." ...whom they invaded in retaliation for their part as a sponsor in the assassination of the heir to the Austrian throne which is - in fact - an act of war. Austria's invasion of Serbia was fully justified, and Germany backing their ally in a justified war is also completely justified. Furthermore, Russia - who was NOT treaty bound to intervene - refused to stand down and de-mobilize (despite Kaiser Wilhelm personally pleading with his cousin Tsar Nicholas to do so) due to their own territorial interests in the Balkans and so triggered the domino effect that was the Great War. I fail to see how any of that was Germany's "instigation".

@@cynwraeth1943 Germany violated Belgian neutrality, how do you not interpret this as an act of aggression?

@@m136dalie Germany paid the price for that violation of neutrality by bringing Britain into the war. It was an aggressive act, yes, but it hardly justifies blaming THE ENTIRE WAR on that one single act, especially considering that by that point the war was already declared by 5 powers and was in full effect. Declaring yourself neutral in war doesn't make you immune to it. The fact is the causes for the war were complex and numerous, and blaming the whole thing on Germany was irresponsible. That another war was a mere 20 years down the road was almost an inevitability.

@@cynwraeth1943 The clause doesn't blame the entire war on Germany. It blames the destruction of Belgium and Northern France on Germany. Something which is entirely justified since you yourself even admit that it was an act of aggression.

What would happen if the Allies were more harsh?
