When it REALLY Began - BankWars: Weimar Hyperinflation Episode 1

The Weimar hyperinflation resulted in widespread social and economic collapse, and the complete impoverishment of many people. But what exactly happened? Who benefited from the inflation? Who paid the price? Well, in this multi-part series, we’re going to reexamine the evidence, dive into the details, and dispel many of the myths associated with this disaster, starting with - when the inflation really began. This video will cover the period from the pre-war era until 1918. The rest of the series will go from 1918 to 1923 (and a little beyond). The script for this video was 9,320 words. The thumbnail for this video was created by Terri Young, and many of the graphics inside the video were made by her too. Need graphics? Check out her website
