Adolf Hitler began his rise to power at the end of World War One. He rose on the wave of brokenness that enveloped the German population after the demoralizing loss of the Great War. He was charismatic and knew how to woo people to his side. He also read the German culture and knew how to inflame their national pride. But even with all of his great leadership gifts, the man did not rise to power alone. With him, he gathered malcontents and people who hated their circumstances and formed them into formidable forces. Two of the groups that catapulted him into unassailability were the SA and the SS. These groups guaranteed that Hitler would gain and hold power for a very long time.
The SA, or otherwise known as Sturmabteilung, began as the National Socialist German Workers’ Partys’(NSDAP) security branch. The SA was mainly made up of street fighters and ex-soldiers, The men of the SA protected Nazi meetings. They also broke up a lot of rival political group meetings and harassed the Nazi’s opponents. By September the 1921, Hitler had successfully made the SA into a private army just for him. He then chose the name Sturmabteilung or (‘Stormtroops’) and had them clothed in uniforms styled after the military uniforms. So the party organizers got a large shipment of very cheap army brown shirts, which would eventually become distinctive uniforms of the SA. The SA became a very important tool for Hitler’s rise to power. Until the summer of 1934, the SA was the most feared and the
Hitler rose to power through the Nazi party. He won over the the support of the middle and lower class in Germany. This caused the Nazi party to become larger and more powerful. Due to the Great Depression, unemployment rates skyrocketed and Hitler preyed on their weakness. He gave the people hope by making economic promises, which he went on to fulfill. Conflict between the Communists and Social Democrats led to weakness in their party which made Hitler gain more power. He was appointed Chancellor of Hindenburg. Once he gained more and more power he couldn’t be stopped. Hitler worked to abolish freedom of speech and assembly after convincing the president these were emergency acts that needed to be carried out. Hitler gained even more power by having the communist party outlawed and all of its members arrested. The Reichstag was enacted which gave Hitler four years of dictatorial power. The only legal political party in Germany became the Nazi party; every aspect of life was under Nazi control. Hitler did pull Germany out of the Depression. Businesses grew and and unemployment dropped. Most of the growth came from run businesses. Hitler believed that Germans were the supreme race. All Jews, Slavs, Gypsies, Jehovah's

The rise and fall of Adolf Hitler is one of the most terrible, dramatic and unbelievable stories in history (Wein). Following the financial troubles of World War I, Hitler came into power over Germany as chancellor, ending German democracy. He rebuilt the German Army and started the Nazi Regime (United States Holocaust Memorial Museum). Hitler employed several methods to raise to the position of Fuerer, the Leader of Germany. It included discrediting his opponents, manipulating a series of events in his favor and creating absolute power or a dictatorship by removing all obstacles.
What images come to mind as one reflects upon his or her childhood? Playgrounds, blackboards, and soccer balls may be among the fondest of memories. Yet, for many, mermaids swim their thoughts, princesses get swept off their feet, and lions roar to their royal place in the animal kingdom. Disney films have captivated the American culture for years and have become a pivotal part of popular culture as well as a form of education. However, these films have devoured the youth of America and, in the process; have perpetuated an institutionally racist society based on harsh stereotypes. Minorities are often underrepresented, and even completely left out, of many Disney films such as Dumbo (1941), The Lion King (1994), Aladdin (1992), and
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.
“Hitler soon emerged as a charismatic public speaker and began attracting new members with speeches blaming Jews and Marxists for Germany’s problems and espousing extreme nationalism and the concept of an Aryan ‘master race’.” (History.com Staff, 2009). Since Germany was in such a grave state many people backed him and his views up because it was their way out of their tough times. “In July 1921, he assumed leadership of the organization, which by then had been renamed the Nationalist Socialist German Workers’ (Nazi) Party” (History.com Staff, 2009). His fiery, compelling speeches were key elements for his gain of power.
Before in 1923 Hitler and others of Kampfbund tried to seize power in Munich, Bavaria, and Germany. This was known as the Beer Hall Putsch. Ruler of Germany from 1934 to1945 and leader of the National Socialist German Workers Party, known as the Nazi Party were trying to take control. Hitler took advantage of Germanys economic hardships and of the citizens after world war I to get followers, then finally just taking control of the country. Hitler had a very useful skill he was a persuasive speaker and his willingness to use violence to get what he wanted. (1)
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.

Once in power Hitler quickly established himself as dictator. He started hauling off thousands of anti-Nazis to concentration camps. The economy, the media, and all cultural activities were brought under Nazi authority by making an individual’s livelihood dependent on their political loyalty. His desire was to establish German rule over Europe and other parts of the world. He realized that this would lead to a European conflict and so he started his plan to conquer Europe by invading Poland in 1939 and started World War ll .
