Hitler's Rise To Power

especially noted when he earned the First Class Iron Cross, the highest military honor a German

On April 20, 1889, Adolf Hitler was born in Braunau Am Inn, Austria to Alois Hitler and Klara Pölzl. In the early days of Hitler’s life, he was an unrestrained and carefree child who lived a happy life. His mother was very caring and affectionate towards him while his father spent most of his time either at work or following his hobby of keeping bees. Hitler had an older brother named Alois Hitler Jr. and an older sister named Angela, and a few years after he was born his mom gave birth to another son named Edmund and another sister named Paula. After his father retired and Hitler started to go to school his life began to change. He was no longer able to live his previous carefree lifestyle and now his strict father was going to be watching

During the 1930’s Germany was at an all time low as the worldwide economic depression hit Germany hard. The confidence in Germany from the people was lacking due to the fresh memory of their defeat in World War I. This caused great need of a new leader, someone who could give the people change, and Adolf Hitler knew he could do just that. His rapid rise to power began when he started to promise things that intrigued the German people. He promised the hopeless and needy a better life, and promised opportunities that were exactly what the people needed. This caught the attention of so many young unemployed and middle class people. His party, known as the Nazi Party, won 33 percent of the votes in the 1932 elections. And by January 1933, Hitler was appointed chancellor, which was the head of the German government. Germany started to feel like they might've found the leader they'd been so desperate for.

One of the main factors in Hitler’s rise to power was the Economic Depression of 1929. After the Wall Street crash, the U.S. called in its loans to Germany thus increasing both poverty and unemployment levels. The Weimar government did not understand how to reverse the situation so the general public became angry and lost confidence in the relatively new democratic system. During a depression, political trends become extremist and so the Nazis flourished; Hitler offered both a scapegoat and himself as a strong leader to look up to. The depression gave Hitler the edge he needed to gain ninety-five[1] seats in the Reichstag and ultimately progress from the leader of a minority party to the Dictator of the Third Reich.

Adolf Hitler’s rise to power In Germany was nothing less than astounding. Hitler first came in to power on January 20, 1933, after he was awarded with the Iron Cross First Class and Black Wound Badge and was appointed Chancellor of Germany. His father did not respect his interest in fine art. Hitler entered into the Academy of Fine Arts twice and got rejected both times. Then eventually joined the German Army.

Hitler is known to be one of the most notorious world leaders of the 20th century. Hitler is responsible for starting World War II and the horrific genocide of the Holocaust. His persuasive form of speaking is what caused the German people to believe his deceiving lies on his rise to power. His childhood experiences and influences played a big role in his hatred towards foreigners and Jews, which caused him to be anti- Semite. Once in power he wanted to conquer the world and make it an Arian only population.

Even though Germany was left in a period of struggle and economic weakness after WW1, Adolf Hitler would take a stand by creating a party that would help refine the structure of the economy. This party, when abbreviated, was called Nazi, would also create harsh laws and unrelentless punishment. Due to the Nazi party’s quick growth, there was an immediate impact on lifestyle and politics for the people of Germany. The long term impact brought forth by the consequences or legacy of the Nazi party included a population decrease and an increase in deaths. To make both of these impacts, Hitler had to overcome many hard challenges.

“Wherever I went, I began to see Jews, and the more I saw, the more sharply they became distinguished in my eyes from the rest of humanity,” Hitler wrote in Mein Kampf, describing his feelings when he first arrived in Vienna in 1925 and began to develop anti-Semitic ideas. The Holocaust was when the Nazi’s eliminated the Jewish people under Hitler’s rule. This was one of the most gruesome events in world history. There were three main reasons why Hitler started the Holocaust and exterminated the Jews: he had a need for power; he was convinced the loss of WWI was because of the Jews; and he was raised as an anti-Semitist.

Hitler rose to power after President Hindenburg's demise yielded him presidency in addition to the Chancellor role he already held. This made him the Fuhrer (Supreme Leader) with complete control of Germany. He took numerous political, social and economical measures to ensure his popularity amongst his people so as to prevent rebellion. He already in fact had some of these measures implemented way before Hindenburg's death in August 1934, when he was just Chancellor. These policies kept him in power until his death in 1945.

In the documentary that I watched I was amazed at the fact that at one point there were over 9 million Jews living in Europe before Hitler rose to power. However, by the end of World War II only 3 million Jews were left. Adolf Hitler began his rise during the Great Depression and was named Chancellor of Germany in 1933. During his time in control, Hitler blamed the Jewish people for being responsible of the economic crisis. In order to get everybody to have the same mindset he had, Hitler would despise Jews through the media such as newspapers and films. He also created the Nuremberg laws to locate all the Jews. These laws would classify you as a Jew if you came from three or four Jewish grandparents. Hitler did everything in his power to get

Hitler received numerous awards for bravery, as well as the Iron first class. In the month of October 1918, Hitler was blinded in a gas attack. While Germany surrendered, Hitler was in the hospital and was in a bad moment of deep depression, consuming a lot of days in tears. After all the chaos of the war finishing Hitler’s future seemed most likely undecided. “He wanted revenge for Germany’s defeat in the World War and the harsh post war treaties.. He began to dream of a great German empire stretching from Europe deep into the Soviet Union.”

The process of change in political systems in Germany throughout 1890-1990 stirs up many debates within historians. Supporters of the early Kaiserreich system suffered as each new regime followed; from the National Socialists policies to the denazification programme following the Second World War. The rise of Hitler and the Third Reich can be see as a key turning points as they had absolute power over the individual and responsibility was inferior to the state. The FRG and the GDR had both different political aims; however their efforts to remake political cultures shared similarities. Although the Second World War plays a large part in the formation of political systems in Germany, the divide between East and West Germany can be seen as

Hitler's Rise to Power In 1919 The Weimar Republic encountered harsh economic, social and political problems. After the new Democratic Republic signed the armistice it put Germany not only into an economic crisis, it also caused Ebert’s Republic to get off to an unpopular start. The new government were branded ‘The November Criminals’ even though they weren’t to be blamed, and were left little choice. Some people felt the government should be based on communism, and the Spartacist uprising in 1919 caused major political problems.

The Rise of Hitler During the 1920's and early 1930's Germany was trying to recover from World War. It had to pay reparations and try to rebuild the economy from bankruptcy. It was because of the weaknesses of the economy and the Weimar Government, together with the growing popularity of the Nazis that Hitler was able to become Chancellor.
