The Reasons Hitler was Made Chancellor of Germany
In Germany in 1933, Hitler's Nazis party was growing extremely popular
with the Germans. This posed a problem for the current government, The
Weimar republic who were losing popularity. Hitler promised things
that the German people needed: Hitler offered a strong leadership,
like that of the Kaiser, older Germans who were alive during the reign
of the Kaiser, warmed to this type of ruling. Hitler promised the
cancellation of the treaty of Versailles, which was still a subject
which angered many people; many still held the signing of the treaty
against the Weimar. Hitler's use of the SA forced people into voting
for him. Hitler knew he could not keep these promises, but he made the
People of Germany believe him, he was able to touch people's emotions,
his rally's created excitement and positivness in the German people.
Hitler was their last chance to help restore Germany to her to
respectability and powerfulness. Hindenburg seeing Hitler's popularity
grow, had to think of something to protect the Weimar but at the same
time keep control of Hitler.
There are many reasons for Hitler being made Chancellor. Starting at
the very beginning of The Weimar's rein, they signed a treaty, which
affected them for the rest of their time in power.
From the very beginning the Weimarappeared weak. They ended the war,
which was bad enough for the German people but they the signed the
treaty of Versailles. This through Germany into humiliation, as well
as having many parts of Germany, taken away and given to other
countries. The German army, who were very important to Germany as they

...le and helped him gain many votes. The weakness of the democratic
system, and the Weimar Republic. From the very beginning, Hitler had a
reason to pick on the Weimar, it was clear that it would not last. The
strength and mass growth of the Nazis helped Hitler. He was able to
create his own army of SA, using violence and force to gain him
support. I think that it was inevitable that Hitler was going to come
to power because, having such a democratic system after Germany being
ruled by the Kaiser was always going to be difficult, but the fact
that from the first week of the Weimar reigning Germany, things
started to go wrong almost emphasises that it was not going to last.
Even events outside of anyone's control were in Hitler's favour.
Hitler didn't rush into anything he was quite then when he saw his
chance he took it.
The German Weimar Republic was an attempt to make Germany a more democratic state. While this was a very good idea in theory, the Weimar Republic was ineffective due to the instability that came with it. Several factors contributed to the instability of Germany’s Weimar Republic, such as the new political ideals brought forward and the government’s hunger for war. To begin, one of the factors that contributed to the instability of the Weimar republic was the presence of new political ideals. Marie Juchacz unintentionally highlighted that reason in her speech to the National Assembly.
As Ian Kershaw explains, the Weimar Republic was failing: "the survival chances of Weimar democracy might be regarded as fairly poor by the end of 1929, very low by the end of 1930, remote by the middle of 1931 and as good as zero by Spring 1932." In a period of Depression and when unity and firm government was essential, Müller's Grand Coalition broke up in March 1930. Logically, there were several political alternatives other than Hitler and the Nazis.
YEAR 10 HISTORY ESSAY: GERMANY’S FATAL ATTRACTION TO HITLER Adolf Hitler, easily one of the most influential people to have ever walked on the Earth. His rise to power also one of the most oppurtunistic seized to date. How did he achieve such a powerful control over Germany and its people? Through what you could call a series of unfortunate events.
In conclusion, the Weimar Republic of Germany ended up collapsing and giving way to Nazi rule because of the lack of popular support, the lack of organization within the party, and the fact that it had to compete with other, stronger forms of government.
The Holocaust began with a single man. A man who was deranged, yet had a passion for art and reading. A killer who was undeniably smart and was able to create brilliant plans. An individual who fought in a war for Germany but was responsible for the mass murder of millions of people who lived within its boundaries. His name was Adolph Hitler.

Hitler's Aims and Actions as the Cause of World War II When considering the reasons for the outbreak of war in 1939 it is easy to place the entire blame on Hitler’s aggressive foreign policy in the late 1930s. One British historian, writing a few years after the end of the war, claimed that ‘the Second World War was Hitler’s personal war, in that he intended it, he prepared for it, he chose the moment for launching it.’ In this assignment it is my intention to show that Hitler’s foreign policy was a major factor in causing the conflict but that other reasons, both long term and short term, need to be recognised as well. Probably the first factor that need considering is the Treaty of Versailles, of 1919.
Furthermore, to understand why historians focus on other periods in the Weimar’s history, in particular the consequences of the treaty of Versailles and the consequences of the Wall Street crash in 1928 which led to its collapse. Many historians in the period 1970 – 2000 attempted to write a complete account of the Weimar republic and very few succeeded, however, E.J. Feuchtwanger’s ‘From Weimar to Hitler’ published in 1993 is one of the most successful overviews published.... ... middle of paper ... ...

Richard Bessel’s article stresses the political structure of Weimar Germany as the cause of its failure. Its structure was flawed in numerous ways, all of which contributed to its inevitable failure. First of all, the problems within Germany due to the First World War were massive. This caused economic, political and social problems which first had to be dealt with by the new Weimar government. The loss of the war had left Germany with huge reparations to pay, and massive destruction to repair. In order to gain the capital needed to finance efforts to rebuild, and repay the Allies, the economy had to be brought back to its prewar levels. This was not an easy task.

The main reason was that people were discomposed that Germany had lost a war and most of the people blame for the defeat. On the other hand, during 1929-1933, the worldwide Great Depression, which impacted Germany, and there was no leader of Weimar could solve the economic problem.

Exploring the Reasons Behind Public's Discontent with the Weimar Government There were a number of reasons why the German people were unhappy with the Weimar government. One of the main reasons for this was the signing of the Treaty of Versailles. The result of this was that Germany has to take the war guilt, Germany had to pay reparations of 6,600 million marks to the allies in particular France, Germany lost its colonies, it lost its air force & tanks, and its soldiers were restricted to 100,000. The Ruhr was demilitarised. Also they lost their colonies and its land was cut up such as the Polish Corridor and Alsace Lorraine.
