Reasons Why Nazis Came to Power in 1933
There are several factors that enabled the Nazi party, with Hitler as
its leader, was able to come to power in Germany in 1933. There are 5
main reasons involved history, economics, politics and the personality
of Hitler. The main political events occurred in 1923 and 1933.
The Treaty of Versailles was one of the most important causes that led
to Hitler's rise in Germany. From the German point of view the treaty
was incredibly harsh and devastating for Germany. The treaty contained
five major points that would be Germany's demise. Germany was reduced
severely as a military power. Due to this the country also had a huge
problem in dealing with the large population of unemployed soldiers.
The War Guilt clause was the most damaging term of the Treaty for
Germanys' pride. By agreeing to the treaty Germany was made to accept
all blame for starting the war and all the damage resulting from it.
Germany had to accept this, or they run the risk of starting the war
all over again, which they would inevitably lose. The German nation
was expected to provide compensation. Germany lost most of its
territories. The Rhine was to be occupied by allied troops. Germany
was not allowed to put any defences or troops on the east bank of the
Rhine. This made Germany feel weak and vulnerable to invasion. Germany
also had to agree never to unite with Austria again. This was hard for
both countries to accept as they both thought of each other as the
same people. Land was also given to Poland from Germany, which Germany
could never take back. In addition Germany lost her rights for trading
overseas with places like, C...

...ct gave Hitler the power to do whatever he wanted
without needing to get parliament to approve it. This was a short-term
cause, as Hitler no longer needed it after he seized power, although
this was the definitive link to Hitler's rise into power. This law is
important because it gave Hitler the power to do most of what he
wanted.
The Nazi rise to power in Germany was because of the Treaty of
Versailles, The Munich Putsch, the economic depression, Hitler's
oratory, personality and leadership, the decision by Von Papen and
Hindenburg to appoint him as Chancellor in 1933 and the Enabling Law -
all these factors are especially important to the rise of Hitler and
the Nazi party. Each factor leads into another. So all five of the
factors are equally important for the rise of the Nazi and Hitler
along with minor factors.
The Weimer Republic, is the democratic government established in Germany in 1918 that ruled for fifteen years after the collapse of the German empire after the First World War.The republic consisted of moderates from the Social Democratic Party as well as their liberal allies, which included the German Democratic Party, and the Catholic Center Party. The Weimer Republic sought political democracy, which they believed was attainable by the elimination of war, revolutionary terror, and capitalism. Despite their clear goal, the Weimer Republic faced backlash by the radicals of society, which included communists, National Socialists, and the Nazi Party led by Adolf Hitler. THESIS: The Weimer Republic’s instability in the period of 1918-1933 is
to deal with was the great war but at the time this was not considered

The Success of the Nazi Party I disagree with this statement, as I believe that there were many other factors that helped the Nazi party. In the background the hatred of the treaty of Versailles, desire to return to a Kaiser figure and the weakness of the Weimar government definitely helped the Nazis gain support from the German people. After the Wall Street crash when Hitler started using article 48 more was when He really started to gain power. The hatred of the treaty of Versailles was very important.
The Great Depression played a big role in helping the Nazi Party capture power. Many nations were suffering from the Great Depression in 1930, including Germany who had to pay for the war reparations. During this period of economic and politic crisis, the country had been easily influenced by the politics parties. They wanted someone who is capable and had what it takes to be their leader to lead them through the huge crisis that they were facing. Most Germans who are in desperate state as they wanted Germany to be like once, able to be proud of and not in such a state where they had to struggle to fulfill the almost impossible terms of the Treaty of Versailles. They considered that period as a disgraceful decade in their history. Due to the Treaty of Versailles, the bitterness feeling that was left for the Germans. That is when Adolf Hitler, the Nazi Party’s last leader came in and promised people that he would help to restore the peace and make Germany greater, but as their leader. The bitterness feeling that the Germans felt, also did a part in helping the Nazi Party to capture po...

Hitler's Appointment as Chancellor in 1933 A combination of factors led to Hitler being given the position of Chancellor (the second-highest post of the then current German government) on the 30th of January 1933. The final, direct reasons for his selection were political, but Hitler was only able to reach that point through appealing to the German public. It was not too hard for Hitler to impress the average German: He was by far the most promising. His promises were not aimed at being better than the other parties; instead he told the people he would give them what they wanted.

MODERN HISTORY – RESEARCH ESSAY “To what extent was Nazi Germany a Totalitarian state in the period from 1934 to 1939?” The extent to which Nazi Germany was a totalitarian state can be classed as a substantial amount. With Hitler as Fuhrer and his ministers in control of most aspects of German social, political, legal, economical, and cultural life during the years 1934 to 1939, they mastered complete control and dictation upon Germany. In modern history, there have been some governments, which have successfully, and others unsuccessfully carried out a totalitarian state. A totalitarian state is one in which a single ideology is existent and addresses all aspects of life and outlines means to attain the final goal, government is run by a single mass party through which the people are mobilized to muster energy and support.
German people were unused to a democracy and blamed the government “November criminals”, for signing the Treaty of Versailles. From the very beginning, the new Weimar government faced opposition from both sides of the political spectrum. The Left wing Spartacist group, lead by Liebknecht and Luxemburg, looked up to the new Soviet councils in Russia, wanted to place Germany into a similar system.
The Congress of Vienna in 1814-15 created the so-called German Confederation under Austrian and Prussian hegemony, but this unit disappointed the dreams of nationalists. The rivalry of Austria and Prussia paralyzed it in a way comparable to the effects of Soviet-American dualism on the United Nations during the Cold War. Almost everywhere, the old rulers repressed the nationalist movement after 1815. The German princes realized that nationalism required reform.... ...
Prior to unification in 1871 the territory that would become Germany was comprised of thirty-nine independent states and city states joined together in a loose German Confederation. The most powerful among these states was Prussia, both geographically the largest state and that with the largest population. The influential politicians and policies that came out of Prussia were instrumental in the gradual formation of a united Germany. Beginning with the rise of Napoleon, the nineteenth century was a time of incredible change which dramatically altered the political balance of Europe. In order to understand the factors that culminated in official German unification on January 18, 1871, it is necessary to examine the preceding decades.
