Many Germans felt bitter, resentful, and humiliated after World War 1. They were angered by the Treaty of Versailles which they believed was unjust and blamed for the economic hardships and loss of territory that followed the war. There was a sense of nationalism and a desire for revenge among many Germans. Additionally, there was a feeling of betrayal by the government and a lack of faith in democratic institutions. This atmosphere of disillusionment and resentment contributed to the rise of extremist political movements such as the Nazi Party.
