Adolf Hitler Able To Fight For Power In Mein Kampf's
Adolf Hitler was born in Austria in 1889. Hitler went to Germany to fight in the German army during WWI. Hitler gained his support in many ways. One way that Adolf Hitler gained support was through his book Mein Kampf. Another way that he gained the support that led him to gaining all of his power and control was the constant fear of the Communists gaining political power. Another way that Adolf Hitler gained all of his support was the Great Depression.
Hitler’s book, Mein Kampf, which is translated to: “My Struggle” was a huge reason for the success of Adolf Hitler in gaining political power. The book expressed ideas of extreme nationalism, racism, and anti-semitism. In his book, he claimed that Germans were part of a “master race” of Aryans who's greatest enemy was the Jews. This extreme nationalistic view caused for Jews to be seen as outsiders and enemies of the superior “master race”. In this book, …show more content…
Hitler also blamed Germany’s defeat in World War I on Jews, Marxists, corrupt politicians, and business leaders. He then in his book encouraged Germans to unite into one great nation. He claimed that Germany needed a stronger leader and Hitler wanted to become that leader. This book clearly paved the way for Hitler’s rise to become chancellor and also led to the beginning of the persecution of Jews which we know today as the Holocaust.
The Great Depression came at a perfect time and played right to the advantage of Adolf Hitler.
As the economy weakened and the unemployment rate rapidly rose, Nazi ideas and membership also began a dramatic upward trend to about a million. Hitler’s ideas were very appealing to military veterans, workers, lower and middle classes, small-town Germans, and business people. Hitler promised his supporters that he would bring an end to reparations, he would create jobs, and also defy the Treaty of Versailles by rearming Germany for war. To combat the Great Depression, Hitler launched huge public works programs similar to those launched by Britain and the United States. Under these programs, thousands of people were put to work building highways and housing and also replanting forests. Hitler also created programs to help rearm Germany to defy the Treaty of Versailles. THese programs helped create jobs and it boosted the general morale of Germany. To achieve these things, Hitler, using his support he had gained, created a system of totalitarian
rule.
Another way that Adolf Hitler gained power and support was Germany’s divided government. Both Nazis and Communists were beginning to win more seats in the Reichstag which is the lower house of the legislature in the German Government. Fear of the Communists gaining too much political power spread. As a result, conservative politicians began turning to Hitler and supported him. They did not like him but they believed that they could at least control him and that would be better than the Communists gaining political power. As a result of this, Hitler was then appointed chancellor in 1933 under legal means under the Weimar constitution. This then led to Hitler becoming the dictator of Germany within a year of him becoming chancellor.
