  • Yesterday's News: Media Framing of Hitler's Early Years, 1923-1924
    92 — The Elon Journal of Undergraduate Research in Communications, Vol. 6, No. 1 • Spring 2015 Yesterday’s News: Media Framing of Hitler’s Early Years, 1923-1924 Katherine Blunt Journalism and History Elon University Abstract This research used media framing theory to assess newspaper coverage of Hitler published in The New York Times, The Christian Science Monitor, and The Washington Post between 1923 and 1924. An analysis of about 200 articles revealed “credible” and “non-credible” frames relating to his political influence. Prior to Hitler’s trial for treason in 1924, the credible frame was slightly more prevalent. Following his subsequent conviction, the non-credible frame dominated coverage, with reports often presenting Hitler’s failure to over- throw the Bavarian government as evidence of his lack of political skill. This research provides insight into the way American media cover foreign leaders before and after a tipping point—one or more events that call into question their political efficacy. I. Introduction The resentment, suspicion, and chaos that defined global politics during the Great arW continued into the 1920s. Germany plunged into a state of political and economic turmoil following the ratification of the punitive Treaty of Versailles, and the Allies watched with trepidation as it struggled to make reparations pay- ments. The bill — equivalent to 33 billion dollars then and more than 400 billion dollars today — grew increas- ingly daunting as the value of the mark fell from 400 to the dollar in 1922 to 7,000 to the dollar at the start of 1923, when Bavaria witnessed the improbable rise of an Austrian-born artist-turned-politician who channeled German outrage into a nationalistic, anti-Semitic movement that came to be known as the Nazi Party.1 Ameri- can media outlets, intent on documenting the chaotic state of post-war Europe, took notice of Adolf Hitler as he attracted a following and, through their coverage, essentially introduced him to the American public.

  • Economic Crises of Weimar Republic, 1923 & 1929 Block
    LHS World History Name: Reading #1 Date: Economic Crises of Weimar Republic, 1923 & 1929 Block: Two economic events shattered the average German’s faith in the Weimar Republic. The first event was the hyperinflation crisis of 1923. The second event was the Great Depression that began in 1929. When in January 1923, France and Belgium occupied the Ruhr in response to Weimar’s announced policy of “non cooperation” Berlin countered by ordering passive resistance. In doing so, they paid the workers of Germany to not work. These became known as “resistance wages.” To pay the resistance wages, the presses ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ began to print astronomical amounts of money. By December 1923, Germany was in the grips of a hyperinflation crisis unprecedented in the annals of western civilization. $1.00 cost 4 million RM (Reichmark). A woman might order a cup of coffee for 5000 RM and get a bill for 8000 RM an hour later. By December of 1923 90% of average family expenditure was going towards food. A massive crime wave swept the country. Child prostitution was off the charts as families sold their children for food, and precious metals disappeared off th of the streets. Germany collapsed into a full barter economy, reminiscent of 9 ​ century Europe. Full economic ​ collapse stared the government in the face. Though for years it has been claimed by historians that the hyperinflation crisis wiped out the German middle class, this was simply not the case. The inflation did not destroy the economic position of the middle class. Some like mortgage holders, debtors or businessmen who bought on installment payments gained; others such as investors or bondholders, lost.

  • Elections in the Weimar Republic the Elections to the Constituent National
    HISTORICAL EXHIBITION PRESENTED BY THE GERMAN BUNDESTAG ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Elections in the Weimar Republic The elections to the constituent National Assembly on 19 January 1919 were the first free and democratic national elections after the fall of the monarchy. For the first time, women had the right to vote and to stand for election. The MSPD and the Centre Party, together with the German Democratic Party, which belonged to the Liberal Left, won an absolute majority of seats in the Reichstag; these three parties formed the government known as the Weimar Coalition under the chancellorship of Philipp Scheidemann of the SPD. The left-wing Socialist USPD, on the other hand, which had campaigned for sweeping collectivisation measures and radical economic changes, derived no benefit from the unrest that had persisted since the start of the November revolution and was well beaten by the MSPD and the other mainstream parties. On 6 June 1920, the first Reichstag of the Weimar democracy was elected. The governing Weimar Coalition suffered heavy losses at the polls, losing 124 seats and thus its parliamentary majority, and had to surrender the reins of government. The slightly weakened Centre Party, whose vote was down by 2.3 percentage points, the decimated German Democratic Party, whose vote slumped by 10.3 percentage points, and the rejuvenated German People’s Party (DVP) of the Liberal Right, whose share of the vote increased by 9.5 percentage points, formed a minority government under the Centrist Konstantin Fehrenbach, a government tolerated by the severely weakened MSPD, which had seen its electoral support plummet by 16.2 percentage points.

In this study, as in the two earlier ones, the analysis has been limited to the trading on the Chicago Board of Trade where from 85 to 90 per cent of the trans- actions in grain futures are made and in particular where practically all of the large-scale speculative trading in wheat futures is done. Of the various grains traded in, wheat has in each case been selected because it has ranked foremost in speculative interest. The first of these three studies covered the period from January 2 to April 18, 1925. The investigation was occasioned by the extreme and erratic fluctuations in wheat prices during this period causing general uncertainty in the grain trade.
