Awake-In-3D: Trade Wars and Sanctions Now Setting Us Up for the Biggest Collapse in History

Trade Wars and Sanctions Now Setting Us Up for the Biggest Collapse in History

Awake-In-3D   October 9, 2024

Are we repeating the mistakes that led to the Great Depression and World War II?

This article explains how past economic disasters, like what happened in Germany after World War I, can help us understand what’s happening in the world today. By looking at how trade issues, financial penalties, and economic crises led to radical political changes back then, we can see similarities with today’s global economy.

The purpose is to show how history is repeating itself and why we may be heading toward the biggest financial collapse in human history if things continue the way they are.

The study of past economic collapses offers invaluable insights into the forces that drive economies toward disaster. The rise of fascism and Adolf Hitler’s ascent in Germany is a powerful case study, showing how trade disputes, economic sanctions, and financial instability can shape world events.

If we don’t learn from this history, we risk repeating it—and many signs suggest that we are on the brink of another unprecedented financial crisis.

US President Joe Biden recently announced a significant rise in tariffs for Chinese imports, including electric vehicles (EVs) and solar panels. One of the most significant steps is the decision to raise duties on Chinese electric vehicles to 100 percent.

The Role of Economic Sanctions and Trade Disputes in Historical Collapses

Economic sanctions, trade disputes, and punitive measures have long been used to isolate nations. In post-World War I Germany, these tools played a direct role in driving the country to financial ruin.

The Treaty of Versailles demanded massive reparations from Germany, strangling its economy and blocking any real recovery. The inability to trade internationally compounded the problem, leaving Germany cut off from vital markets and resources.

As economic isolation intensified, inflation spiraled out of control, wiping out savings and deepening poverty. Germans faced severe unemployment and social unrest, making them receptive to extremist ideologies.

Hitler seized on these conditions, using the widespread economic misery to gain support. The lesson here is clear: economic collapse can open the door to radicalism, and today’s growing trade wars and sanctions could create similar conditions.

How the Treaty of Versailles Enabled Radicalism in Germany

The Treaty of Versailles humiliated Germany economically, with reparations and territorial losses that crippled the nation’s ability to function. In the years following World War I, Germans watched their currency become worthless.

By the time the Great Depression hit in 1929, Germany was relying on foreign loans—especially from the U.S.—to stabilize its economy. When those loans dried up, Germany’s economy collapsed once again.

The collapse of international trade and financial support left Germany in an even worse position. Mass unemployment and desperation became the norm. In this climate, Hitler’s Nazi Party rose, offering promises to rebuild the economy, restore pride, and make Germany powerful again.

This is eerily similar to the struggles many countries face today, where economic hardship is driving people to seek out extreme solutions and political figures who promise to fix everything.

Parallels Between the Great Depression and Today’s Financial Risks

The Great Depression serves as an important reminder of how quickly global economies can unravel. When the U.S. stock market crashed in 1929, it triggered a worldwide financial collapse.

Countries like Germany, already weakened by debt and trade restrictions, plunged into a deeper crisis. Protectionist policies and tariff wars, like the U.S. Smoot-Hawley Tariff, only worsened the situation by choking off global trade.

Fast forward to today, and we see similar warning signs. Global tensions, trade wars, and massive debt levels are putting immense pressure on economies. Inflation is surging, supply chains are breaking down, and many people are struggling to make ends meet.

Just as in the 1930s, these financial pressures are creating a fertile environment for social and political unrest. Many fear that the world is again teetering on the edge of a catastrophic economic collapse.

What History Teaches Us About the Coming Financial Disaster

The history of economic crises shows us that they often follow predictable patterns. Trade disputes, financial isolation, and economic sanctions create the conditions for collapse.

Germany in the 1930s offers a blueprint for what can happen when economic pressure drives a society to desperation. And today’s world looks dangerously similar.

Countries around the globe are facing rising inflation, trade conflicts, and unsustainable levels of debt. The gaps between the wealthy and the poor are widening, and the middle class is being squeezed.

As in the past, when economic conditions deteriorate, people begin searching for drastic solutions, often turning to radical movements or leaders who offer simple answers to complex problems. If the current trends continue, the world could be headed for the greatest financial disaster in history.

The Bottom Line

The economic collapse of post-World War I Germany and the Great Depression offer crucial lessons for understanding the looming financial disaster we face today.

Rising trade tensions, economic sanctions, and the strain on global economies all point to a similar outcome. If we don’t understand the past, we risk repeating it—and this time, the stakes are even higher.

Prepare for the worst, because the next global collapse may be unlike anything the world has ever seen.
