1. The period between World War 1 and 2 saw a futile search for stability as the League of Nations proved weak and nations disagreed on using force. Germany struggled with reparations payments which led to inflation and economic troubles.
2. In the late 1920s, some agreements stabilized relations but nations still maintained large military forces. The Great Depression started with the U.S. stock market crash of 1929 and spread globally, causing high unemployment.
3. By the early 1930s, the depression was at its worst with over 40% unemployment in Germany. People turned to dictators who offered simple solutions to economic problems, weakening Germany's democratic Weimar Republic.The futile search for stability

The Emancipation Proclamation was issued by Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863, freeing all slaves in Confederate states. It did not immediately free slaves in border states loyal to the Union, as Lincoln did not want to antagonize them. While it did not immediately free all slaves, it helped the Union war effort by gaining support from other countries opposed to slavery and encouraged slaves in the South to escape to Union lines. The Proclamation was a major step toward abolishing slavery across the United States.Ch11 sec4 wh
