HOW DID HITLER RISE?

Weakness in the Weimar Government too aided in the rise of Hitler. The Weimar government was made up of different parties and all had different goals and ideas for the progress in the country, thus they are prone to conflicts when crisis arose when they don’t see things eye to eye. This resulted in the government being weak and leading to the diminish support they had from their people. Germans wanted stable and decisive rulers, which were the opposite of what the Weimar government comprised. During that time, communism was also spreading rapidly round Europe. Fearing that Germany would also fall in being a communist country, they signed an agreement to be a democratic country. Soon after that, enmity among the people enhanced, the people were tired of being amidst of misery, and being weak and blamed all these sufferings to the Weimar. Hitler then stand up and assured the people he would end the sufferings. When he did it, people looked up on him thus ease off his goal to be the ruler of Germany.

When the stock market collapsed, it sent financial markets worldwide into a tailspin with disastrous effects. The Germany economy was especially vulnerable since it was built out of foreign capital, mostly loans from America and was very dependent on foreign trade. When those loans suddenly came due and when the world market for German exports dried up, the well-oiled German industrial machine quickly ground to a halt. Production levels fell causing German workers to be laid off. Along with this, banks failed throughout Germany. Savings accounts were instantly wiped out and inflation soon followed making it hard for families to purchase expensive necessities with devalued money. The Great Depression began and most Germans were cast into poverty and deep misery. This is when Adolf Hitler knew that his opportunity had arrived. Before the Great Depression, the Nazi party experienced slow growth barely reaching100, 000 members. Despite its tiny size, it was tightly controlled and highly disciplined organization of fanatics poised to spring into action. Since the failed Beer Hall Putsch in 1923, Hitler had changed tactics and was for the most part playing by the rules of democracy. He had gambled in 1923, attempting to overthrow the young German democracy by force, and lost. Now he was determined to overthrow it legally by getting elected while at the same time building a Nazi shadow government that would one day replace the democracy.

During the rise of Hitler, he had a few chances to make speeches, in fact the speeches were made to a whole mass of audiences. This shows the amount of courage he has as a leader. He spoke with a lot of confidence and power which led to the people in believing that he could make a difference, Germany could become a better place under his rule. He was very manipulative and the people believed in him. This helped him to convey the message to the Germans that he will help them as much as possible to get what they want, with then believing. Overall, his manipulative speeches have helped him in achieving his goals.
