"The most important reason why Hitler was able to become Chancellor of Germany in 1933 was because of the effects of the Wall Street crash" How far do you agree with this interpretation? Personally, I agree with this interpretation. The Wall Street Crash caused the German Depression in October 1929 this, I do not believe the party could ever have become popular enough, or gain enough support for Hitler to become chancellor. However there were many other contributing factors, which may contradict

George Orwell, a well known author, quoted "Power is not a means, it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship." Orwell explains that dictatorship is not owned to prevent a revolution but Instead, a revolution is formed to gain ones dictatorship. Thus a great example of Adolf Hitler. After Germany hit its depression period, Adolf Hitler appeared giving Germany a new hope of a revolution, by

is evidence to prove that the Nazis themselves had set the fire, but in any case, this event had appropriate timing which furthered the Nazi election campaign concerning the "Communist Threat". Hitler used the incident to persuade Hindenburg to restrict all individual rights and declare that the central government could oust any state government failing to maintain order. With the Decree of the Reich President for the Protection of People and State, Hitler could justify

Chancellor, but President Hindenburg chose Franz von Papen instead. Von Papen was soon replaced by General Kurt von Schleicher, however, Schleicher’s government was also unable to control the Reichstag. Excited to regain power, “von Papen struck a deal to make Hitler Chancellor, with himself as Vice-Chancellor. The moderate parties would hold all but three of the government posts, which would go to the Nazis; one of these would be Hitler as Chancellor” (Millan). President Hindenburg wanted to continue with

Hitler's Rise to Power 'Instead of working to achieve power by armed coup, we shall hold our noses and enter the Reichstag against the opposition deputies. If outvoting them takes longer than out shooting them, at least the results will be guaranteed by their own constitution. Sooner or later we shall have a majority, and after that- Germany. (Heiden, 142)' Adolf Hitler spoke these words in 1920, soon after becoming leader of the newly named National Socialist German Workers' Party, commonly

Hitler’s crushed spirit following the 1918 November 11th armistice led him to become one of the most influential – and dangerous – men in 20th century Europe. Many factors contributed to his rise in power including his knack for public speaking, the Stock Market Crash of 1929, and the overwhelming hatred amongst the German people of the Treaty of Versailles. However, Hitler’s most notable tactic to gain dictatorship lies with the creation of his Nazi organizations. The latter includes the Sturmabteilung

The Enabling Act was signed by President Hindenburg on March 23rd 1933, giving Hitler the power to establish new laws without going through the Reichstag for exactly four years. Hitler was demanding this right, as in previous speeches he promoted speeches that stated that with this amendment he

George Santayana once said “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it” The quote says it all, learning from past mistakes prevents politicians, historians, scientist, and everybody from making the same mistake. So it is extremely important to know how Hitler rose to power because the history can repeat itself and we do not want another Hitlers to grab the power. At the end of World War I, the allies and Germany signed an armistice to end the fighting. In addition, Germany signed

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. After the First World War, Germany was forced to establish a democratic government based on proportional representation. The

appointment allowed Hitler, over the next year and a half, to consolidate power. Another key event was the February 27, 1933 arson attack on the Reichstag building, where the German parliament met. The Nazis blamed communists, and then pressured President Hindenburg to pass an emergency decree which suspended civil liberties and authorized mass arrests of communists, including all of the Communist parliamentary delegates. With them gone and their seats empty, the Nazis gained even more power. This is when hitler
