Policies of the Nazi Party and Hitler Becoming Chancellor

I believe that the Nazi policies played a major part in the success

leading to Hitler's reign as chancellor. The Nazi policies were very

appealing to age groups of all generations; there were also a variety

of other reasons for the success of the Nazi party and its leader

Hitler, these included: the great depression, Hitler's own personal

ability and personality, the increase in support for the communist

party as well as the well organised propaganda campaign.

The Nazi policies were extremely successful and had a widespread

appeal across Germany. These policies were very appealing to the

middle classes, pensioners, nationalists, militarists and especially

the racists. The Weimar promised to create a strong government which

would bring out order and discipline out of the chaos and instability

of the depression. They promised to reverse the Treaty of Versailles,

create a better Germany, as well as regain Anschluss with Austria, and

find lebensraum in the East as well as restore German pride and

dignity which was a result of the humiliation of the Versaillespeace

settlement. The Nazis created many scapegoats to lay the blame on for

the problems which Germany had faced; these were people such as the

Jews, the November criminals and the weak Weimar government. But,

overall they offered solutions to Germany's problems such as jobs and

food for the starving.

The effects of the depression also played a major part leading to the

success of the Nazis and Hitler. This was when the stock markets

collapsed in America, whish led to a world economical crisis. The Wall

Street crash of ...

... that they would be able to control him,

this proved to be one of the most terrible political miscalculations

in history.

In conclusion, I would say that I agree that the Nazi policies was one

of the most important factors in Hitler's rise to power however, there

are a variety of different factors which are as equally important. I

believe that all of the events which took place at the time had a

major effect and welcomed the Nazis into control. I also believe that

many people voted for the Nazis purely out of fear and that people

were afraid to speak up against the Nazis, fearing for their lives. I

also feel that if Von Papen and Hindenburg had not invited Hitler into

power and that they made a very big mistake by doing so, Germany's

history could have been rewritten and that the Nazi may never have

gained power.
