How did the economic pressures of the 30s motivate a general desire to look past the threat of Nazism? That various economic pressures enabled the rise of fascism in Germany I understand, but how much did Great War fatigue and then the depression feed the desire to look past the rising threat that would soon engulf everyone? Well, I'm pretty sure I know the answer to that - but I'm just thinking about how current economic woes and worries combines with a Europe in absolute retreat as a military force and America worn out from Iraq and Afghanistan to create a similar run from reality as concerns Iran... maybe China too. Not to engage in fanciful historicism or the forcing together of puzzle pieces in order to manufacture a pattern one believes is there, but... can't deny that the species does seem to have a knack for repeating itself.
