The Most Important Factors that Led Up to Hitler's Rise to Power in 1933
Hitler was perhaps the most important figure in modern history. He led
the Axis armies in Europe, he killed millions of Jews, homosexuals,
gypsies, and other minority groups that he felt should be
exterminated. Although he was a dictator of Germany he was voted into
power in 1933. It is incredible to think today that a man of such
obvious evil should be voted into power. In 1928 the Nazi party only
had 12 seats in the Reichstag; in 1932 the Nazi party had 230 seats.
This is a huge increase over less than 10 years it shows that vast
outside factors must have affected Germany to change so many votes.
Several factors here vital to and lead up to the rise to power of
Hitler.
After the WWI the treaty of Versailles was signed. This was a peace
treaty of a kind but it is more punishment to Germany for losing war;
much land on its west to France and Belgium and lost land on the West
to Poland and Lithuania, t also lost its colonies in Africa to France
and Britain as well as loss of colonies in the Pacific. It also
limited their army to just 100,000 men and their navy 15,000 men as
well as limits on size and number of ships. They were not allowed to
own tanks plains or submarines this made the Germans hate the ally
nations, many were keen to fight and felt that they had not lost the
war reparations also caused economic crises in Germany. Germans hated
the points of this treaty, they felt a sense of betrayal, they felt it
was not signed with there consent, Hitler proposed to destroy it and
people supported him for this. The treaty was extremely harsh on the
Germans a...

self and out of all the radical solutions Hitler's policies inspired
the patriotic nature of a nation in crises and told them it was not
there fault but gave them scapegoats to blame for the state of
Germany. This all gave Hitler support witch he used to get into power
witch was used in the worse ways.
So I believe that treaty of Versailles coupled with the reparations
forced on to Germany this set up every thing for Hitler. Without them
there would not be the environment for a radical party like the Nazis
to be of any significance. Although it is debatable weather it was bad
luck with the Wall Street crash, I feel that a loaded gun is bound to
go off and there would off been a rise of the extreme right or left
with the treaty of Versailles and reparations in place. All the other
points were just an aid to this.
During that time, the vast interior of the Africa continent was still undeveloped and unknown to Europeans while the coastal regions had already been claimed by others. Since Belgium was a small country, King Leopold II was very obsessed with obtaining a colony so that he could focus on claiming the interior of Africa gradually, which was the only unclaimed and sizable geographic area in Africa at that time.

The Nazi Party was formed in January 1919 by Anton Drexler. Originally it was named the German Workers Party (DAP). Hitler joined in Autumn of 1919. He quickly rose to become the leader of the party. The party was transformed by Hitler and became a political party rather than the discussion group that it had been when he joined. The SA (Brownshirts) was formed to protect Hitler and other party leaders at meetings. It also disrupted the meetings of the Nazi’s political opponents.
The Effect of the Great Depression on Hitler's Power There is no simple answer as to why Hitler became chancellor in January 1933. There are a number of causal factors which all contributed to his rise into power. Any of the factors, on its own, however, would not have resulted in his appointment. They are all linked in a web of causation and if any of the factors were missing, Hitler would not have been appointed chancellor. Of the factors I would say that the Great Depression was the most important.
Adolf Hitler was born on April 20, 1889 to Alois Schickelgruber and Klara Hitler in Branau, Austria. Klara showered young Adolf with love and attention while his father beat and abused him. He moved twice by 1895, first to Passau then to Hafeld. In Hafeld, about 1900, Adolf's artistic talents emerged and he was accepted into the technical/scientific school of Realschule. Adolf quit school at age 16, in part because of reoccuring lung infections ,and in part because of poor grades.
The Weakness of the Weimar Republic and Hitler's Rise to Power The question directly relates to the idea that the political power of a country can be taken over by ambitious people in different ways. From our knowledge we know there is three ways this can be done…by take over by force, also known as a 'coup d'etat', in a more democratic and just way or by a political deal. In the 1920's and the 1930's Hitler led a right wing political party and was seen by many as a dictator. He wanted to overthrow and control the German government and he tried all three of these ways in an attempt to do so, some methods were more successful than others.

The Rise of Hitler During the 1920's and early 1930's Germany was trying to recover from World War. It had to pay reparations and try to rebuild the economy from bankruptcy. It was because of the weaknesses of the economy and the Weimar Government, together with the growing popularity of the Nazis that Hitler was able to become Chancellor. After the First World War, Germany was forced to establish a democratic government based on proportional representation. The main problems with the German system were that no one party had absolute control.
Evaluating the View that the Depression Was the Main Reason Why Hitler Was Able to Become Chancellor By 1933
While Leopold II, the King of Belgium, desperately wanted an overseas colony, The Belgian people did not share his enthusiasm; which created the feelings of neglect and apathy Belgium had towards Congo. The Congo Free State, established “in the margins of the Berlin Conference” in 1885, allowed Leopold to “gain international recognition of his possession” which he had begun to take control of since the 1870s. However, while Leopold was securing control of the Congo, the Belgian people were not interested in controlling colonies, as they believed that colonies “would merely soak up resources that would be better used for social purposes at home.” Thus, the Belgian people decided to solve the problem of having an unwanted colony by separating the Belgian government from...
The map of Europe was redrawn after World War I such that the countries that desired independence had their own self-governing nation. This caused the German Empire, for instance, to grow smaller and not encompass the small countries that had previously been a part of the empire. Although these territorial changes were seemingly beneficial to some, they ultimately did not work in practice for various reasons. The countries that achieved independence were not successful for reasons such as their failure to establish diplomatic relations with other countries and weak infrastructure; these reasons combined resulted in a weak country.
Since ancient times, nations have absorbed territory near their borders. protect themselves from foreign attacks. This kind of territory could be used as a cushion support. This way they have land around them to help them stay secure. In the late 1800's, many European powers had colonies throughout the world where their ships, both naval and merchant, could take on supplies.
The recession was preceded by the global boom of 2002 - 2007, which resulted in risky investment decisions by individual companies, which eventually left the markets teetering on weak financial supports. Cracks in the over-optimistic market started developing, first with the collapse of individual companies, including Goldman Sachs and Lehman Brothers, but those cracks quickly spread to the housing market and soon impacted the entire U.S. market. At the same time, markets all around the world tumbled, wiping out trillions of dollars in value for global investors. In the U.S., unemployment shot up by 5%, while the S&P 500 lost up to 40% of its value in one year. The events of 2008 and the realization of Firm-specific and Market Risk left investors with few safe-havens to protect their investments (International Monetary Fund,
