Germany thought of idea to attack France by going through Belgium but this just created more tension between the country’s.After there last plan half worked they thought of another plan called the Schlieffen plan which was to attack France and Russia on both sides.After 4 years of fighting Germany finally surrendered on the 11th of November 1918 at 11:00 a.m. after signing the treaty of Versailles.Soon after the war the Great Depression happened and Germany’s stock market fell making the money less value and then the money got mass produced then the money started to get inflated so if wanted to buy a piece of bread it would cost 100 million Reichsmarks.In 1933 Adolf Hitler became chancellor of Germany which meant he could spread more of his Nazi propaganda around the country.

East Germany was for the Russian’s and West Germany for the Allies.
