Hitler and His Rise to Power
During World War II wars were raging between the Nazi regime and those who dared to stand against them. Leader of the Nazi Party, Adolf Hitler, was a vicious man and sought to rid of all the ethnic groups he found unworthy. He prefered a specific type of people that were blonde haired and blue eyed. He had many abilities and one of them was his speaking ability which quickly grasped the eyes of those who are citizens of Germany, therefore he gained many followers very quickly. He also had many astounding leading abilities which is why he was able to take control so quickly, but the way he put his power to use was devastating to millions of families, especially those of the jewish race. Many wonder how Hitler was able to come to power so quickly, and how he had the resources to follow through with all his expensive plans. Hitler found the money he needed from the “support of wealthy businessmen” (“Hitlers Rise to Power” 2). Another way he

Being able to win over the people and gain direct control over Germany and its people shows that Hitler fit the job of a dictator which was much needed during this time in Germany. Germany and its citizens had just suffered a horrible loss in World War I. Most human beings when put through a loss look for something or someone to blame. Hitler, being enraged at the loss, took his anger out towards the Jews. He saw the Jews as the cause of the political downfall in Germany. Jews often owned very small businesses, such as, wrist watch stores, shoe stores, and little bakeries. These small stores began to multiply around Germany and Hitler saw that more and more Germans were unemployed due to the lack of business. Many small stores made it hard to have a large income to the government which made the country itself economically
There were many ways in which Hitler came to power, those main ways being Hitler's persuasiveness, the things he claimed to fix, and when he presented himself. All of these things painted Hitler as a great and patriotic leader. To start, during Hitler's final speech at his trial for treason (document 6) he was able to use German nationalism to not only recover political standing, but he was able to find something for the German population to support him on this thing being bringing down Marxism. Hitler's persuasion in this small part of one speech shows how well he can manipulate a group and how easy it would be for him to get support from the German people. Another way Hitler rose to power was by claiming that he and the Nazi party would fix
Hitler was in many ways a great leader and his influence on the German people was immense; he used his motivational and powerful speaking abilities to gain support and popularity. Hitler knew how to appeal to people's baser instincts and made use of their fears and insecurities. He could do that,
There were some Jewish families that were wealthy throughout Europe, however most were poor. Many Jews worked as farmers, tailors, factory hands, accountants, seamstresses, doctors, teachers and small business owners. Many children ended their schooling early to work in craft or trade. Others continued their education at a university level. With the rise of the Nazis to power, Jews became potential victims and their lives would be changed forever.
In the following investigation, the following question will be addressed: In what ways did economic and political issues in Germany between 1922 and 1932 contribute to Hitler's rise to power? The scope of my research will fall between the years of 1922-1932, the start of Hitler’s attempt to run for office. A variety of primary and secondary sources will be used to answer the question. The bitterness caused upon the change of government systems in Germany will be analyzed, along with his childhood that all primarily drove Hitler to run for power. Then, the harsh effects World War I had on Germany along with the Great Depression that followed as a result will also be looked at. Finally, a conclusion will be reached.
Have you ever wondered how Hitler came to power? Have you ever wondered why people would join Hitler? Hitler’s leadership was successful because he started out as a Gefreiter, or Lance Corporal, in the Bavarian army during World War 1. In this piece, I will talk about Hitler’s rise up to take over Germany, how he expanded his reign out further to other countries, and how Hitler
Hitler was a brilliant speaker, a good organiser and politician. He was a driven, unstable man, who believed that he had been called by God to become dictator of Germany and rule the world. This kept him going when other people might have given up. His self-belief persuaded people to believe in him. However, I do not think it was solely the brilliance of Hitler's leadership which brought the Nazis to Power. There are many other reasons why this happened.
The Germans had been defeated in the First World War, and had been forced to pay huge reparations to the Allies. As a result, Germany suffered terrible inflation and mass unemployment. Hitler blamed the Jews for the hardship that weighed down upon his country…he initially planned simply to force the Jews out of Germany (British Library Board). In Hitler’s regime, he publicize that his race must remain pure in order to take over the world. As he became the chancellor of germany, his group, the Nazi rise to power.
As a leader, he was able to reach his goal of becoming a dictator rather early on in his reign, along with the love and support of the German people. All of Hitler’s beliefs and wrongdoings are now seen all over the world as absurd and inhumane. However, when he was the dictator and overall ruler of Germany, ideas were different. Because Hitler ruled with such violence and resilience, he was able to strike fear into the minds of the nation as a whole.
To begin, Hitler’s rise to power was a very interesting process. First, Hitler was a great speaker and very persuasive, but he had to take strong measures to rise to power. He had to imprison or assassinate his opponents to take power (Stein, World War II In Europe
Hitler rose to power through the chaos at the end of world war one after Germany had lost the war. Germany had to give up its military power, and had to pay debts to the victors pf the first world war, and it caused Germans to be enraged allowing Hitler to become a leader. The Nazis had never really gotten power until Germany's leader made Hitler second in command. Germany's leader died though giving Hitler full command, Hitler rebuilt the German army, and in 1939 started World War two. Untimely Hitler could not have rose to power without World War one.
Looking back at the horrendous events that occurred during the WWII, many of the people affected or not so affected by the events that took place often ask the question, “Who let a mad man like Hitler come into power?” The answer is, no one. Therefore, it’s probably more accurate to say, “What enabled Hitler to come to power?” To Germans burdened by reparations payments to the victors of World War I, threatened by hyperinflation,and political chaos, Hitler offered scapegoats and solutions to the German People. (Fredericks 17) To the families or individuals who were affected financially, he promised to maraud from Jewish Financiers. To the workers left without jobs, he promised security. By promising to control trade unionism, he gained the financial support of bankers and industrialists which allowed him to rise to power and created the havoc as we know today, the Holocaust. (Smith 37)
When introduced to Hitler, the citizens of Germany were intrigued by him, as he promised to stabilize and secure the country. The rise of Hitler’s power can be seen as the result of dreadful events in history. To a large extent, the most important factor that led to Hitler’s rise to power was the Great Depression due to the fact that Germany was facing severe economic difficulties and most of the citizens were suffering as a result of the economy. However, it can be argued that the Treaty of Versailles also played an important role in Hitler’s rise to power.
Hitler was very strategic in how he was able to gain power over Germany. He was able to figure out what was bothering the Germans during the years following World War I and used it to his advantage. Although many people have a hard time explaining his rise to power, when it is analyzed from a historical point of view it is clear that he used many of the same tactics other world leaders used to gain
He did it by possessing what the German people wanted, coming in when the economy was bad, and the use of violence. These were some of the many contributing reasons on how Hitler rose to power. The first reason that supports Hitler’s rise to power was that his ideas were likable and he knew how to gain and maintain supporters. The Nazi Party attracted many people, especially
