how did the nazis rise to power?

Answer 1

I'll try to stay brief here. The German economy was shot after WWI. The allied countries made Germany pay reparations (basically huge fines) for damages and losses to other countries during WWI. There was really no way the German economy could pay reparations and have enough to support the population. Inflation rates soared. Several groups emerged to change the direction that Germany was heading in. Hitler and the Nazi party began to emerge as a dominant political group in Germany. To do this they used strong arm tactics, intimidation and even staged things to make it look as if communists were taking over. Hitler also exploited an underlying current of anti-semitism (hatred for Jews) that existed in much of Europe at that time. Hitler and the Nazis blamed the Jews for many of Germany's economic problems. Jews often held many high ranking positions with financial institutions. The nazi party also fanned the flames of nationalism. The nazi's portrayed an ideal of Germany being the supreme political power in the world and gaining revenge for its humiliating defeat. As the Nazi parties' influence grew, Hitler was finally elected Chancellor of Germany in an election. The nazi's took advantage of a broken population and seemed to have a clear answer to everyone's problems.

Answer 2

After WWI Germany economy was crushed. Germany's best land was taken from them so the German people felt betrayed because no one was following what the Treaty of Versailles said. The communist party was gaining popularity in Germany with the promise it would get Germany out of it's depression. Hitler Joined a small political party that believed Germany could be a great power some day. In very short time Hitler became their spokesmen and was the reason the political party went from only a hundred people into the thousands. Hitler used a lot flash and propaganda to attract the people to his speeches. He blamed Germany's problems on Jews, Gypsies, Blacks.

The way Hitler was able take over quite a bit of land quickly was by surrounding the city's and then attacking from all sides. The Nazi's went undefeated until they got to Russia.

Answer 3

They were elected when Stalin had the German Communist Party pull out of a coalition government that could have kept the National Socialist Party (Nazis) out of power. Stalin thought that the Nazis would be so bad that in the next election the Communists would win, instead Hitler changed the laws and had himself anointed as dictator. For a modern example of this see Hugo Chavez.

Answer 4

Unfortunately out of "hatred" and "deceit" posed by Hitler, that's how the Nazi's rose to power. Can you imagine....a world where everyone looks the same and bears the same characteristics, what a boring place it would be.

Prejudice is an awful thing, difference makes the world go round and if there were just one color, one creed, one nationality, one look to all people in the world......I'd move. I love people, I am a people watcher and I don't ever want to have to say "If you seen one, you've seen them all". I embrace the "differences" in people and if more people did that, we'd soon wipe out jealousy, hatred, prejudice and then "wouldn't the world be better off"? Viva la differance!

Answer 5

Hitler started out as a member of the National Socialist Party in Germany. After the Parliament Building in Germany burned to the ground mysteriously in 1936, Hitler convinced the Parliament to give his party power in Germany and name him chancellor. After that, it was just a matter of time before Hitler became a quasi-dictator and his Nazi Party ruled almost all of Europe.

It's not like there is a shortage of books on Hitler or his rise to power; I just think you are too lazy to read.
