A significant effect of the Great Depression on Germany was the economic impact. Initially, the Wall Street Crash affected the USA the hardest, and they withdrew their loans from Germany. These loans were what made the economy in Germany recover after the war and with the reparations they were facing. Industries that had been heavily relying on the loans started to go bust and unemployment rose from 2-3 million in the Spring of 1929 to 8.5 million, with a third of the entire workforce being laid

Hitler’s Leadership Hitler, a man filled with power, a man who would conquer anything he desires to rule upon, a man with more power that no one would get in his way because they were terrified of being slaughtered. Not only was Hitler a man of power but he was a man who reigned upon all who tried to get the best of his position. He was a different man out of the rest of Germany, but he had his good leadership skills when it was needed the most to help his country survive the worst of its time reigning

Germany was facing a far worse economic crisis in 1933 than the UK’s recession that begun in 2008, and it was at this time that Hitler, after years of campaigning, was appointed Chancellor by President Hindenburg in an attempt to maintain democracy. This leads to the research question to what extent did the Great Depression Contribute to Hitler’s rise to power? Other contributing factors to Hitler’s rise to power include the terms of the Treaty of

appointment as Chancellor by German President, Paul Von Hindenburg, came as a surprise, after Hindenburg previously refused Hitler’s request for the position. He assumed the role during the political turmoil the country was facing at the time (as a consequence of the conditions in the 1920s and early 1930s), this corresponded with the approach and policies that Hitler advocated as leader of the Nazi party. Following the death of President Hindenburg in 1934, Hitler assumed the role of leader. During this

failure of the treaty was foreseen through the Allies as they were attempting to solve the problem towards Germany and allowed the Army to retain its considerable influence and in fact became a major force in the future of the Republic. Paul Von Hindenburg was a German military officer, statesman and politicians who served as President of Germany who publicized the argument that the treaty should not have been signed as it lead to war guilt and national humiliation and psychological disillusionment

Adolf Hitler born April 20, 1889, was just a mere citizen until Germany faced world humiliation post World War I. After World War I Germans faced harsh economic depression during which in turn caused people to lose trust in their government. Hitler being an intelligent man took advantage of this opportunity to promote himself and gain power. The Treaty of Versailles, established after WWI, led Germany to their lowest in world standings.

Which was more important to Hitler, the Reichstag Fire or the Enabling Act? Both the Reichstag Fire and the Enabling Act contributed to Hitler becoming “Der Fuhrer”. Though would the Enabling Act have been attainable if it were not for the Reichstag fire? I doubt many of the events that followed the fire would’ve occurred if the Reichstag building was still intact. Ergo, I believe that the fire was more important to Hitler. Throughout this essay I will look at the effects of both events - analysing

The abuse of Article 48 of the Weimar Constitution allowed Adolf Hitler to become Chancellor. It stated, “If public security and order are seriously disturbed or endangered within the German Reich, the President of the Reich may take measures necessary for their restoration, intervening if need be with the assistance of the armed forces. For this purpose he may suspend for a while, in whole or in part, the fundamental rights provided in Articles 114, 115, 117, 118, 123, 124 and 153.” It also allowed
