wow you are in trouble if you are doing your homework and you dont know!! He was writing Mein Kampf (My struggle) in prison for attempting to overthrow the Weimar Republic ruling party in Germany!!
He was the leader of the disaffected public in Germany at the time when it was in a complete state physically mentally and economically after being crippled by the demands of the treaty of Versailles and losing a war!
His big opinion was that the Kaiser Willhelm gave in too early in World War One and rolled over to take the demands of the Allies at Versailles. He was a corporal in the German Army in WW1 and saw a great many of his friends die so took it rather personally.
1929 was the Great Depression and as is historically the case the more extreme parties (the Nazis) gain much more support and following in times of struggle and depression.
Therefore in 1933 he was made Chancellor ( their equivalent of leader) and the rest as they say is history!!
Hope this helps dude!

... the Weimar Republic was actually doing quite well. Under Streseman the economy recovered, and foreign policy was taking an upwards turn - Germany was admitted into the League of Nations, and good loans were arranged with the USA; successful negotiations also sorted out some of the problems of the reparations payments that had been set in 1921.
All in all, the legitimate, elected government was starting to find its feet, and the Nazis were just a bunch of extremist thugs that most Germans thought were a bit nutty.
It all went horribly wrong when the Wall Street Crash brought it tumbling down ...

basically because Germany was doing ok under Gustav Streseman who dominated it from 1923-1929. However, democracy in Germany was far too weak to survive the mortal blow that was inflicted by the worldwide economic depression that was caused by the Wall St. Crash of 1929. Germany suffered badly and by 1933, many Germans were prepared to support the Nazis even if it meant an end to democracy.

The German economy was recovering after the Great Inflation and the NSDAP looked like an extremist, preposterous, fringe organisation that had missed the tide of history.

He didnt have the right political contacts at the time. Too close to the end of WWI as well as occupation troops all around. Not the sort of thing you want if you just lost a war and want attention turned elsewhere in order to rebuild your country.

No sympathy here. You, at least, admit to your laziness.
