German Revolution of 1918 and Kaiser Wilhelm II resigns
This is a photo of the German Revolution. This photo effective demonstrates the significance of the event as it illustrates the amount of protesters, and thus, the amount of pressure placed on Kaiser Wilhelm II. The vast amount of pressure on one person justifies the Kaiser's abdication and escape from all the backlash. -
Ebert-Groener Pact
This photo contains members of the Lin Kuei, a clan of assassins part of the video game, Mortal Kombat 1. The photo effectively illustrates the event as the Pact between Ebert and Groener had similar principles between the Lin Kuei and their employer, Liu Kang. The Lin Kuei were offered a respectable position and guaranteed glory in return for their protection. -
Armistice Ending WWI
This photo depicts a formally dressed man sitting in a car. This relates to the event as the armistice was signed inside of a car. The photo accentuates the event as the man is dressed formally to show how the armistice was a formal event, and the man reaching into his suit demonstrates the secretive actions that were present during the signing of the armistice. -
Spartacist Revolt
This photo shows two men fighting each other. This photo connects to the event as the revolt was a much smaller revolt in terms of the revolution as a whole. The photo highlights this idea by only illustrating two men. Although it shows only a fight between a small amount of people (two), it was still a brutal fight that was part of a much bigger fight. -
Bavarian Soviet Republic
This photo shows 6 enthusiastic workers. This photo relates to the event as the Bavarian Socialist Republic was a small socialist group that ultimately failed to make an impact. The six workers in the photo represent the small group, and the workers being unknown represent the fact that the Bavarian Socialist Republic was unrecognized during their time. -
Treaty of Versailles and the results for Germany
In this photo, it's a picture of Azula, the crowned princess of the fire nation, being arrested by Katara who was part of Team Avatar (the good guys that won the war). Azula, after being arrested, got her nobility stripped away from her, and put in a jail with a straight jacket. This is similar to Germany, as they were deemed the bad guys, and were given harsh terms by the Allies (territorial loses, reparations, military restrictions). -
Formation of Weimar Republic/Constitution
The person in the photo is Silco, former leader of Zaun and main antagonist in Season 1 of Arcane. Silco effectively demonstrates the event as Silco took an approach similar to that of the Weimar Republic. While the leader before Silco, Vander, tried to bring the struggling Zaun and flourishing Piltover together, Silco decided to adopt some of Piltover's structure, improving the lifestyle of people in Zaun. -
Kapp Putsch
Within this picture Amon (A character from Korra) is seen preaching about taking over the government (The Republic City) so that he could take away everyone's bending power away and rule who was able to get in due to his support by the non-benders. But it ultimately fails, similar to the Kapp Putsch, which wanted to take over Weimar with their military but was defeated by the workers because they were supported by other soldiers. -
(Red) Ruhr Uprising
Seen in the picture is the Red Lotus from Korra, these people were looking to eliminate monarchies and world leaders after the Harmonic Convergence (a prime moment of weakness). Similar to the Ruhr Uprising, in which socialists wanted control and tried to after the Kapp Putsch, a moment of weakness. They were both defeated by military power and led to greater instability. -
Hyperinflation Crisis
Within this picture, it showcases a man sinking through a hole of money. This represents the Hyperinflation crisis, because the printing of banknotes (to support the Ruhr strike) caused the banknotes to be devalued, causing large amounts of money to become worthless, like a sinkhole of useless money that people get trapped in. -
Rapallo Treaty
This picture is a picture of Azula from ALTA, Azula is pictured next to the Dai Li, who were the militants of the earth kingdom. They made an alliance together secretly forming a dangerous bond to undermine the earth kingdom. This is similar to the Rapallo treaty, where two isolated countries make an dangerous alliance secretly. -
Occupation of the Ruhr by France and Belgium
Within in this picture, it's a page of the ALTA comic where the Fire Nation refuses to give up its colonies and so the Earth Kingdom sees it as a threat and wants them out. This is similar to the conflict of the occupation of the Ruhr, as Germany sees it as unjust, while France and Belgium see it as their right. -
Beer Hall Putsch
The photo represents the Beer Hall Putsch as the Beer Hall Putsch was the failed Nazi Coup led by Hitler. The Coup was failed, as represented in the photo by the police swarming just like the Beer Hall Putsch was shut down. Luigi Mangione represents Hitler, as even after running for his crimes, he was caught very soon after, spending time in prision. His followers still supported him though, just like girls fanboy over Luigi. -
Introduction of Rentenmark
The man in the photo is happy with a single dollar, which represents the rentenmark as prior to it, the normal marks were worthless with around a trillion marks to one rentenmark, meaning even with trillions of marks people cannot afford anything. The single dollar represents the sheer value of the rentenmark, and the foreshadowing of hte prosperity to come. -
Weimar Golden Age
The photo represents the golden age as it represents the many reforms during the golden age led by Gustav Stresemann, heavily contributing to the prosperity Weimar had. The rentenmark specifcally, the beginning of the golden age, created by Stresemann is seen in the photo with Stresemann giving the rentenmark to the people. Other reforms Stresemann gave were Locarno and stopping passive resistance. -
Dawes Plan
The photo represents the Dawes Plans as the Dawes Plans included major debts to the US. Like the photo shows how each party wants their money, the US had loans to Germany, Germany was in debt to the allies, and the allies were in debt to the US. Everyone was in debt to the US in one way or another, showing how they want money back. Also the extended reparations. -
Election of President von Hindenburg
The picture of voting sticker on a military member represents Hindenburg's election as he was elected due to his past achievements and honor coming out of World War One. He also one hte majority of the vote with around 70%, as demonstrated by the largeness of the army's vote/influence in Hindenburg's election. -
Locarno Pact
The photo represents the friendship between parties, which was also in Locarno as Germany and the allies finally resolved border conflicts in the west. The treaty set the borders on paper as represented by what the countries are standing on, and helped Germany get into better standing with the world, once again caused by Stresemann (the goat). -
Treaty of Berlin with Soviet Union
In the photo, it illustrates the "Era of Peace" in Avatar, which is what the treaty accomplished. The treaty basically extended the Treaty of Rapallo and created peace between Germany and Russia -
German entrance into League of Nations
In the photo, it illustrates a child being left out of a discussion. This is how Germany felt before being included into the League of Nations. This turned around after being included in the League, where they now have influence and impact as a major nation. -
Young Plan
The images shows six entrepreneurs called 'sharks' on the show "Shark Tank". In the show, they attempt to negotiate with business owners to reach a compromise that leaves the investor and owner happy. This is what Stresemann did with the Young Plan, where he negotiated a smaller reparation debt and extended time to pay the aforementioned debt. -
Grand Coalition of Weimar Germany
The image is the cover of Teen Titans, essentially a squad of superheroes that teamed up to bring peace and order to society. The "Grand Coalition" was the makeup and combination of the 4 most popular parties in Weimar Germany and they combined to form a coalition in parliament to command over Germany. -
Beginning of Great Depression
The Great Depression was caused by the US Stock Market Crash on 'Black Tuesday'. The depression was characterized by large counts of poverty, homelessness, and unemployment, which is shown in the empty wallet indicated poverty. -
Von Papen’s deal with Hitler
In the TV show "the Penguin", Oz (right) essentially exploits Victor (left) and uses him to save him from troubling situations and assert Oz as the leading crime boss in Gotham, which unintentionally creates a bond between him and Victor. Oz is afraid of the connection between him and Victor and ultimately kills Victor. This is essentially the Papen deal, where Von Papen promises Hitler power and ultimately attempts to backstab and keep him repressed to stay in power (become vice chancellor). -
Hitler becomes Chancellor
After Hitler became chancellor, a chain of events were set that included the death of Hindenburg which led to Hitler's rise to presidency and Fuhrer, which ultimately led to the Holocaust and WWII. This is represented in the image, which is a Rube Goldberg machine, which illustrates chain reactions happening one after another to reach a set outcome
