Answer 2

Important to know: Hitler was a common soldier in the first world war and that gave him at least a small social standing

First the Beer Hall Putsch got Hitler into the social arena (AKA people started talking about him) ---> November 8-9 1923

In jail he wrote "Mein Kampf" (My Struggle) ----Volume 1 published in 1925

After he got out of Jail he was quite depressed for a time and was nearly suicidal... not much helping him here

Then he formed two groups while starting the Nazi party... The SA (Also called "The Brown Shirts" and were the common soldiers for him) and the SS (Hitler's secret service AKA The "Gestapo")
These two groups helped Hitler take out political rivals and also put pressure upon rivals

One specific incidence of this is the "Night of the Long Knives" during which Hitler used the Gestapo to take out possible traitors in the SA... this made a huge political statement -----> June 30-July 1, 1934

All of these events contributed to Hitler's rise to power in Germany

Answer 3

Hitler rose to power in Germany because of a depression in Germany, in fact it was a worldwide depression, after World War I. He first established a Nazi dictatorship by means of the Enabling Act. In March 1933, to obtain two-thirds of the majority needed to enact the Enabling Act, the Nazi party used the Reichstag fire to show that a Communist revolution was imminent and thus depower the communists. Furthermore, the Nazi policies were much more appealing relatively to that of the failed Weimar Republic's and thus, large numbers turned to Hitler as they were longing for a period of stability within Germany after an unsuccessful rule by the Weimar Republic.

Among the conservative forces who opposed Hitler, the most notable was Kurt von Schleicher, the chief Army political general and fixer who held the Chancellorship after Papen's, the failed aristocratic attempt at administration. Von Schleicher in late 1932 attempted to construct a "cross front" that would unite anti-Hitler factions on the right and center-left in the Reichstag. His failure to do so allowed Papen's second rise to power inside a Hitler coalition, and it was Papen who paved the way for Hitler's appointment as Chancellor. So if conservative forces in Germany would have defeated Hitler politically, Europe and the US wouldn't have had to defeat him militarily.
