The nationalization of East German industry under Ulbricht failed to achieve what?

  • Economic prosperity

  • Military dominance

  • Unification with West Germany

  • Democratic reforms

Answer

Economic prosperity was not achieved by the nationalization of East German industry under Ulbricht. This was because the state-owned industries were not as efficient as private industries, and they were unable to compete with Western companies. As a result, the East German economy stagnated, and the people suffered from a lack of goods and services.
