Hitler’s Rise to Power
How did Hitler rise to power (1933) and consolidate his power (1934)?
When the First World War ended on November 11th 1918; many Germans were put into poverty due to the massive costs of the war. Millions of dying and hungry Germans caused the public to turn to radical political views. A crucial point on the agenda of many Germans was to find a culprit, someone to blame for all the problems that hit Germany after the war. One of these post-war radical parties was the DAP, the German Workers Party, they felt that the post-war ills of Germany were to blame on the Jews and Marxist. The now-renowned Adolf Hitler was a member of the German Workers Party in 1919 and he experi-enced an increase in popularity over the next few years because of his way of holding speech-es. In this period after the war many Germans were very angry, and so was Hitler, in his speeches he would shout and get angry to the pleasure of many angry onlookers. Hitler was a very charismatic speaker and watching his speeches was a very good outlet of anger and ha-tred for his audience. In his speeches Hitler told the people what they wanted to hear his speeches seemed to ensure the Germans of a better future, and hence his popularity skyrock-eted.
Leading up to Hitler’s chancellorship in 1933 there was a series of events that helped Hitler gain the support of the German public. One of which was the hyperinflation in 1923 caused by the French invasion of the Ruhr turned Germany into a crisis state. The German population were very displeased with the Republic because they felt that the democracy were taking no effective action to better the economical situation in Germany. The Germans were in desperate need of a leader, a so-called “strong man” to make solid decisions. In 1924 the Treaty ‘spirit’ of Locarno was signed, Germany took massive loans from the USA, this was viewed by many Germans as ‘Weimar decadence’. The German Wandervogel protested against this modern world
