Yes and no. Germany felt humilated after their defeat in WW1. The formation of the League of Nations and the restrictions placed on the German people created even more hard feelings and resentment. The depression affected many nations, not just the United States. The escalation of German war power led to an increase in mobilization of troups, increased production of weapons and munitions, as well as uniforms, boots, etc., which created more jobs - leading to an end of the depression and after the war, a period of well being and prosperity.

How did the Great Depression help lead the world into World War 2?

The main role the Great Depression played in leading the world into the second world war was that Hitler used it to gain power and votes. Because the Great Depression caused severe poverty, starvation and unemployment, Hitler promised to give the German people work, so that they could buy bread with their wages. One of his mottos was 'work, freedom, and bread'. He was promising them work, so that they could buy bread, and at the same time, freedom from the Treaty of Versailles. Not only that, but the Great Depression, like all crises, causes the public to turn to the extremes of politics. In other words, the public turns to the right wing and left wing parties, rather than the centre parties. The Nazi Party, Hitler's party, was right wing. So, naturally, the public turned to him and the communists (the left wingers). Hitler blamed the communists and socialists (centre parties) for the Great Depression. So, in summary, Hitler used the Great Depression to turn the public away from the communists and socialists, and by doing so, won over for himself many votes. He also promised work and bread to the Germans - the biggest needs of the German people of that time.

Government Economic policies did not lead to the great Depression. The Great Depression started out as a normal recession as part of a business cycle. However, bad government policies (e.g. protectionism) has worsened the recession and turned it into what we now know as the Great Depression.

World War 2 started with Germany's invasion of Poland in 1939. America was just crawling out of the rut of its Great Depression.
