Case # 1: The National Socialists, Mid 1900s, Germany

Nazi ideology had a massive impact on the German people in the years from 1933-39. All aspects of the Germans where influenced by the Nazi ideology (culturally, socially and economical). Nazi ideology affected mostly the younger generation of Germans, as it was easier to manipulate them through school and youth groups. In addition, Nazi leaders thought it was of great importance and considered to prioritize the lecturing of the youth and grow them up as “perfect Germans”. Nazi ideology affected the German school education system, for instance, by including an extra class where children were

The Nazi Party began in 1919 as the German Workers' Party in Munich created by Anton Drexler(“Nazi Germany”). The Nazis came to true power with an influential leader in Adolf Hitler. Hitler was a powerful leader who tapped into the fear of his followers to guide them into becoming strong followers. The Nazi’s propaganda seemed to promise the citizens of Germany to pull them out of the depression they were in at the time (“The Nazi Rise To Power”). The Nazis wrote each of their speeches depending the audience they would have. An example of this is, “ when speaking to businessmen, the Nazis downplayed antisemitism and instead emphasized anti-communism and the return of German colonies lost through the Treaty of Versailles”(“The Nazi Rise To Power”). On January 30, 1993, Adolf Hitler was appointed chancellor of Germany after a series of previous failures of

Furthermore, people turned to fascism because of the Great Depression which cost many jobs and promise of a brighter future. Document A tells us that their economy fell pretty badly. It led to massive unemployment rates. There was not enough support for society because many nations were financially insecure due to the war. Fascist leaders painted a brighter picture of a booming economy and jobs to these people. The fascist leaders were able to pinpoint the supposed problems of the nations that caused them to decline. In document f, Hitler says that the Weimar Republic’s policies are to blame and the ideas that were spreading. Fascist leaders used the economic decline to their advantage by including it in their platform that they will work to bring jobs to everybody. In turn, Germany turned to fascism because they thought electing a fascist

After being given power over the German’s Worker Party, Hitler aided in bolstering its ranks from a measly seven members, he was the seventh official member, to well over three-thousand likeminded people. (Marrs 20). In April of 1920, Hitler renamed the political group to the Nationalsozialistiche Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, or the National Socialist German Worker’s Party, which was shortened to Nazi. (Marrs 21). Nazi is a term synonymous with evil in our time, and what it stands for casts a long shadow over what is arguably the darkest times in modern history. Now seen as little more than one of the many modern white supremacist movements, the Neo-Nazis, one might find it little more than conspiracy theory to claim that the United States of America is a repackaged National Socialist Government, or a fourth Reich. Author Jim Marrs writes, “Under the banner of freedom and democracy, yet pursuing the agenda of the globalist who supported the Nazis, the United States slowly turned from one of the most admired nations in the world to one of the most despised.” (235-236).

There is no question that the German people showed a high level of discontent with the Allies after World War 1, especially since the unveiling of the terms from the Treaty of Versailles. Possibly the most humiliating clause implemented in the Treaty of Versailles was Article 231, also known as ‘War Guilt.’ This was a term, which forced Germany to accept all responsibility for initiating the First World War along with paying a detrimental bill of £6.6 billion for war reparations , strongly demanded by French Prime Minister, Georges Clemenceau, even though it was apparent that Germany would not be able to keep up with this payment. So clearly from the aftermath of the First World War, Germany became a bitter nation filled with hatred towards the Allies. However, there had to be an outlet for all this anger, which some historians argue was redirected towards the Weimar Republic. In result, this was a source of promulgation for the Nazi Party as the Germans were deviated towards extreme radical parties. The National Socialist Workers Party, also popularly known as The Nazi Party, was founded after the collapse of the First World War. It was first regarded as the Germans Workers’ Party until the infamous Adolf Hitler assumed leadership of the organization. The primary purpose for this party was a cry for German nationalism and anti-Semitism. Throughout the early 1920s, Hitler attempted to lead the Nazi Party to success, trying to persuade the nation into adopting the Nazi

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be in a political party that would ignite Europe in a war that would soon involve the entire world? Founded as The German Workers’ Party, and later renamed to The National Socialist Workers (Nazi) Party, or Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei in German, was that party. It was under control by Adolfus (Adolf) Hitler, and promoted German pride and anti-Semitism. Thankfully, at the end of World War Two, this party was outlawed and many of its top officials were convicted of war crimes (History.com). This German political party was one of the most dangerous and destructive political parties in the twentieth century because they were the main cause of World

The biggest group which proved its dominance was the Fascism group. Fascism is a form of radical authoritarian, nationalism, characterized by dictional power, forcible suppression of industry and commerce that came to prominence in the early 20th century Fascism as an ideology includes the core values s of anti-rationalism, struggle, leadership and elitism, socialism, and ultranationalism. The loss of the first World War put Germany in a vulnerable position, economically, socially, and politically. Their industry was physically destroyed, they replaced a monarchical system with a radical new constitutional democratic one, and their citizens’ lives and egos impacted traumatically. In desperate social conditions and states of mind, an ideology based on

From about 1920–1945, the National Socialist German Worker’s Party, commonly abbreviated Nazi, was a political party which held nationalist and racist ideologies. Emphasising a great deal on military and complete totalitarianism, the Nazi Party sent a wave of unrest through all of Europe. While the party ushered in what was thought to be a new Germany with its Third Reich, many Nazi values were questionable. With a lasting political impact, the Nazis caused quite the stir before, during, and after the second World War.

National Socialism in Germany between 1933 and 1945 offered no room for individuality. The unification of Germany and the purification of the Arian race did not allow for the citizens in Nazi Germany to have any singularity. The rise of National Socialism was due to many linked motivations, from the disgrace that the Germanys were feeling after their defeat in the First World War, to the racism against the Jews that plagued all of Europe.

In 1933 Adolf Hitler was chosen as Chancellor of Germany by president Paul von Hindenburg. With this, the Nazi party came to power. Originally called the National Socialist German Workers party (Nazi for short), the Nazi party emphasized how Laissez-faire capitalism, economic liberalism, and democracy failed in government. The National Socialists stressed the importance of the impeccability of the German race. Although they had very determined ideas, The Nazi party began as a relatively small group in 1918. But coming into the 1930’s this was not the case. The widespread use of propaganda and radio broadcasting were instrumental to the rise of Hitler and the Nazi party.

The propaganda made the Nazi Party be seen as the “party of change, dynamism, and movement to a better Germany” (Moeller 6). The party “appealed to specific interests such as creating organizations for farmers, civil servants, and women that worked in the household” (Moeller pg. 7). Although Hitler’s propaganda made the party be seen this way, the “original intent of the party was to combine Nationalist and Socialist ideologies” (Bendersky pg. 34). The National Socialists didn’t “threaten the private property of the middle class and wanted a strong middle class” (Bendersky pg. 34). The Nazi wanted to “represent the worker, farmer, or middle class over the power economic forces” (Bendersky pg. 34). The party’s economic programs were more towards helping the lower class than the

They went from Communists to conservative patriots. Among the more great activists of the recent classification, was Adolf Hitler, who had established the National Socialist German Workers' Party, otherwise called the Nazi Party in 1920–1921? When of the dejection in Germany, Hitler's gathering had more than 100,000 individuals and was becoming quickly, and it started taking an interest in parliamentary races with expanding achievement. In 1933, Hitler influenced the German president, Paul von Hindenburg, into selecting him chancellor—a position from which he was rapidly ready to merge his energy.

Early January of 1919, the German Workers' Party (Deutsche Arbeiterpartei) DAP was formed by Anton Drexler, Gottfried Feder, Dietrich Eckart and Karl Harrer. On the 28th of June 1919, the Treaty of Versailles was signed. The Treaty of Versailles was one of the peace treaties at the end of World War I. It ended the war between Germany and the Allies. The following September, Adolf Hitler, who had been sent by the German Army to spy on the German Workers' Party (Deutsche Arbeiterpartei) DAP, decided that he liked the political ideas of the party and became a member. Early 1920, the German Workers' Party (DAP) changed its name to National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDP) called the Nazi Party for short.

The Nazi Party was founded in 1919. For much of the 1920's it was an

Fascism and Nazism developed out of general crisis of the European political system which related to the rise of the mass participation of the state from the late 19th century to the end of World War 1. The mass participation was the result of things including, the availability of women voters and unpredicted expansion of the number of voters, a development of mass communication with a high mass of mobilization and modernization originally asserted by socialist parties, poorly organized middle-class and political party structures. Fascism was motivated by deep resting fears of social and political revolutions of the ruling elites and large parts of the middle and lower-middle classes. Nazism had the theory of racism and of the perfect Aryan chosen people using propaganda and philosophy to boost them into power . Fascist and Nazi movements appeared throughout Europe during the period between World Wars I and II, but only in Germany and Italy did they come to power and develop into regimes.
