Detailed Solution

All three statements are correct;
Germany was coerced into signing the Versailles treaty, which required her to pay a hefty war indemnity. The German people felt unsatisfied with this deal. It was thought that the Weimar Republic represented national dishonour. As a result, Hitler promised the Germans that their former prestige would return, and as a result, they became his supporters. Following the First World War, Germany had to deal with a Great Economic Crisis. As a result of many troops leaving the military, many lost their jobs. Trade and business suffered. But in 1929, Europe experienced a severe recession. Germany was suffering from both hunger and unemployment. The value of money decreased while prices increased. Germany did not believe in democracy. It was incompatible with their tradition and culture. They immediately pledged their support to Hitler, a powerful man of action who could make their aspirations come true.
