Kristallnacht started international outrage. It gave a bad name to pro-Nazi movements in Europe and North America, leading to eventual decline of their support. Many newspapers condemned Kristallnacht, with some comparing it to the murderous pogroms incited by Imperial Russia in the 1880s. The United States recalled its president while other governments severed diplomatic relations with Germany in protest. Many other countries were extremely outraged with there once friend Germany and how they had gone about this event and severed nearly all relations with the country.
