Nazi Germany, ruthlessly determined to get rid of unemployment at all costs, recovered quickly from the Great Slump. In fact, Hitler dealt with the Great Slump rapidly and more successfully than any other leader. Hitler's success appeared to confirm the success of Mussolini's Italy and to turn fascism into a powerful global political current. The successful policy of aggressive militarist expansionism by Italy and Germany—reinforced by that of Japan, whose economy reached almost twice its pre-slump level of production by 1939—dominated the international politics of the 1930s.
