Explanation:

Question 4

During the early Great Depression, many countries turned to protectionism, raising tariffs to shield domestic industries (e.g., the US Smoot - Hawley Tariff led to retaliatory tariffs globally). Americans stopped lending to Europe (loans had been post - WWI, and the Depression saw a pullback). The Depression caused massive unemployment, not a rise. Governments were more focused on domestic issues than international cooperation.

The “Spirit of Locarno” (1925) was about European countries (including Germany, France, Belgium, etc.) agreeing to respect borders, fostering a sense that peace and security could be achieved through cooperation. Hitler rose later, so the first option is wrong. Germany’s reparations were renegotiated (e.g., Dawes Plan), not forced to pay original debts. There was no sense of inevitable communist overthrow.

Answer:

A. Most countries raised protectionist tariffs
