The main reason has to do with how WWI ended. President Wilson wanted to pledge funds from the winners to rebuild Germany -- but the European Allies wanted to punish Germany -- making them pay war reparations. This led to a terrible depression in Germany and to hyperinflation. This made it easier for people like Hitler to make the German people believe that they had to stand up agains the world and take back what they felt wsa theirs.
Germany wasn't the only place where this was hapening. Italy and Spain were also taken over by despots claiming to return their countries to the stature they felt they deserved using Nationalism as the tool.
Even in the US, conservatives felt that Protectionism and National Pride were the best way to run the country.

The Nazis were able to rise to power because they found a nation that was lost and needed guidance. They were able to play on the feeling s of the Germans by blaming all of their problems on the Jewish community. It is easier to get someone to fight for a cause if the cause pertains to them. Pretty soon you find yourself caught up in something that you really did not want to be a part of.

Apathy, or perhaps fear on the part of German society at that time. Everybody ignored them, thinking they would simply fizzle out, till it was too late to control them... But like any insane idea, sooner or later it will fall...What a colossal tragedy so many innocent people had to die before they fell... Check your local library, this is the most publicized event in history, should be easy to dig up answers for yourself...Good Luck

a mix of the two. the fall of Weinmer become bringing the rustic down with it, with hyper-inflation and mass debt, they have been suffering to maintain their heads above water. Hitler become waiting to harness this weak spot of the republic, and knew that it become a time while the rustic necessary a reliable chief, and Hitler made himself out to be purely that. He become a reliable public speaker and used propaganda and recent technologies mutually with radios to get his messages for the time of and many believed him and theory that Germany necessary a reliable chief of their time of choose. i think of that with out one or the different, the Nazi upward push to means might have taken lots longer to take place, if in any respect.

I think if you look around at the usa today the answer is obvious. It's part fear and part arrogance.
