The Nazis had a the worst war ever in human history at that point. Along with hyper inflation that ruined million’s and the hangover of Versailles and the all the imperialist ideas that were still in vogue. An entire generation slaughtered in the trenches, near famine. A Germany whose elites never recognized Weimar as legitimate and even a near socialist revolution in Bavaria!!

A undisputed hegemony that shapes world politics by its sheer military might.
