Which of the following describes a similarity between the German and US responses in the later stages of the Great Depression?

One key similarity between the German and US responses in the later stages of the Great Depression is that both countries implemented expansive fiscal policies aimed at increasing employment and stimulating economic growth. More specifically, both the United States under President Franklin D. Roosevelt with his New Deal programs and Germany under Chancellor Adolf Hitler adopted strategies of massive public works projects to combat high unemployment rates and to rebuild their respective economies.

In the United States, the New Deal constituted a series of programs, public work projects, financial reforms, and regulations enacted in response to the Great Depression. Key programs such as the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), the Works Progress Administration (WPA), and others were created to generate jobs and improve infrastructure.

Meanwhile, in Germany, Hitler's government also aggressively invested in infrastructure programs as well as rearmament, which not only reduced unemployment but also helped to prepare the country for its future military ambitions. Initiatives such as the construction of the Autobahn network were significant public works projects during that period.

Both countries thus sought to use government spending as a tool to provide jobs, improve infrastructure, and stimulate economic recovery during the later phases of the Great Depression.
