Yothu Yindi - Treaty (Original Version)
Cartoon linking the success of the NSDAP Hitler in the German elections with the Treaty of Versailles, St. Louis, Missouri, USA, 1930.
The design refers to the way the Treaty of Versailles affect German after World War I, in my view, the cartoonist thought effectiveness of the Versailles Treaty by removing power from Germany to lasting peace in the world is concerned.
In the comic, there is evidence showing the man Adolf Hitler Obviously, he wears a helmet with the words part of Hitler, which implies that this man should have a close relationship with Hitler Yet it is not powerful enough to show his identity when we look at the human characteristic, we can know that he has the emblematic bread Hitler therefore, we can say that it is Adolf Hitler, without a shadow of a doubt, when we watch a cartoon, do not neglect the legend of it if we can t know who he is, the legend has already given us an answer Hitler in general, there are characters on cartoons, we must know who the cartoonist reference for us to know which event is the cartoonist commenting on with ease in this particular drawing, words are important, so that the images both elements facilitate our compre hension on the comic therefore we will not be confused.
In fact, sometimes a character must not only have a single identity In this case, I will consider man as Hitler and Germany Generally cartoonists personify a country, for example, Uncle Sam USA This is often called particular cartoon was displayed in 1930, when the most representative person of German is Hitler that Germany is recovering after World war at this time, Hitler and builds trust among citizens.
It is clear that Hitler is crawling on the Treaty of Versailles, it is not a realistic caricature of all, as the size of the Treaty is exaggerated greater than Hitler and it can even run him Arguably the cartoonist thought the Treaty of Versailles is a constraint on Germany because it obviously demand compensation from German and also gives the restriction to Germany to particular aspects However, with the rise of Nazism, Hitler led Germany to break the constraints of the Treaty of Versailles as shown in the cartoon, the upper side of Hitler has already released the Treaty.
Other than the active will of Hitler in the hope of tearing the Treaty, it is also a passive force for Hitler's rise since the Treaty of Versailles is too oppressive for Germany, he slugged Hitler well as shown in the cartoon, it makes Germany can hardly breathe therefore Hitler should get out of the treaty by all means to survive.
When considering the legend, he talks about the success of the treaty with Hitler, literally means the treaty is not a constraint on Germany as it meant to be the contrary, it becomes a catalyst for the rise of the Nazi party and Germany.
So, I come to a conclusion that the cartoonist thought that the treaty does not restrict the power of the German Therefore, it ultimately leads to the success of Hitler.
