Germany 1918-1933

What conditions were present that allowed Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party to take control of Germany in 1933? 


The economic situation, the death of president of the Weimar Republic, the treaty of Versailles, etc were some of the conditions which allowed Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party to take control of Germany in 1933. The economic situation was a great opportunity for Adolf Hitler to gain control because since the people were frustrated, Adolf Hitler said to everyone that he would make things better for everyone so most of the people trusted him. To Hitler, this depression was like a gift because for every problem the Nazi Party had come up with an explanation or promise. Hitler came to power as chancellor and after the death of Hindenburg he managed to bribe other parties or terrorizing them. This enabling act made him legal dictator of Germany for the next 4 years.  The First World War and the Treaty of Versailles depressed the citizens of Germany because it symbolized the humiliation and the defeat. Since Hitler's viciousness and development appealed, so the people gave him support. Hitler promised to get rid of the Treaty. The Treaty of Versailles made a contract for Germany which made living in Germany very hard. The people of Germany were poor and where upset with the Treaty. They wanted someone to help them out of the hole they were in. .Hitler offered them everything the people wanted. Later the people of Germany where brain washed with posters, radio, newspapers and leaflets. Due to Hitler's speeches which were strong and effective, the Germans liked the idea of having one strong leader. So overall Hitler come to power in many ways.
