- B.
The Wall Street Stock Market Crash and the Kapp Putsch failure
Correct Answer
A. Stresemman's death and the Wall Street Stock Market CrashExplanation
The correct answer is Stresemman's death and the Wall Street Stock Market Crash. Stresemman's death refers to the death of Gustav Stresemann, a prominent German statesman, in 1929.

The Wall Street Stock Market Crash, which occurred in 1929, caused a global economic downturn, leading to a decrease in international trade and a decline in German exports. These two factors combined contributed to the significant rise in unemployment in Germany during the period mentioned.Rate this question:
