inarguably was a critical factor. Or do you care to argue the Great Depression had nothing to do with the rise of the previously minor figure of Hitler?
Today, many of the problems in the EU are the result of their governments and banks investing in American stocks and securities that turned out to be bogus.
Yes, my friend, our virulent form of capitalism is responsible for some very bad results. If you'd care to discuss this further, perhaps you'd care to saunter over to "Outside."
I sneer as I slap your face with my Italian leather glove and await your arrival there.

Due to nature of the film under discussion, I think there is definitely room for some political arguments, provided we stay with the subject and period and don't drag Bush into it.

I do not think our Depression was in any way responsible for Hitler's raise to power. There were dozens of specifically local German issues and reasons for that. The WWI results as well as the selfish games the European powers each played, were to greatest extend responsible for Hitler gaining strength and momentum.

There was also no chance of a fascist leader appearing in the US, all its Depression suffering notwithstanding.
- So, your argument is that the rise of Hitler, who had toiled - tinear 15:07:44 02/12/11 (0)
  in very relative obscurity, completely is unrelated to the desperate economic conditions that then paralleled his rise?
  And you then would argue, I surmise, that the collapse of the American stock market had little impact on the German economy that had been in good health before it?
  Both conditions, completely unrelated?
  Go ahead.
  You and semuta put your brains together.
  I'll only use one lobe.

  The inability to make an intelligent peace treaty with Germany at the end of W.W one.
  The US president back then ( Wilson ) seems t have make serious Mistakes, if I remember well.
  - And exactly what was damaging in that poor treaty? - tinear 15:09:40 02/12/11 (3)
    If you guess, "war reparations!," you win a prize.
    If you say Germany's economy overcame those until the Great Depression, which it did, you get a bottle of DRC.
