Hitlers Rise To Power Was Due To Support
‘Hitler became Chancellor in January 1933 because he had so much support from German people.’ Do you agree? Explain your answer (16)
There are many factors in which helped the Nazis seize power in 1933. I do not think that one of these factors stands out to be the main reason for Hitler becoming Chancellor in January 1933. There are some factors which were more important than others, however there is not one outstanding factor; they all played an important part to Hitler’s rise to power. This does not mean that the support Hitler had was not one of the most important factors as it was. If Hitler had not of gained power then Hitler would not have had the opportunity to negotiate and the Nazi party would not have been taken seriously. Therefore I agree that Hitler became Chancellor because he had so much support however this was not the only reason.
In 1928 during the Reichstag elections the Nazis gained less than 3% of votes but 5 years later was the biggest party in the Reichstag and Hitler became Chancellor. Hitler gained support for three main reasons; the German citizens had lost faith in the Weimar government and began to turn to extremist groups for help, German citizens became desperate and began to like Nazi ideas on hunger and unemployment or they felt threatened and feared the communists and thought only the Nazis would be able to help them (maybe even involving the SA).
German citizens lost faith in the Weimar government and the Great depression gave Hitler and the Nazis the opportunity to gain popularity. The German citizens were left in fear and desperation due to the political and economical crisis which the Wall Street Crash created. The amount of unemployment increased and Germany found it hard to pay back reparations. This would have decreased the faith German citizens had for their government as it was not the first time Germany had been in an economical crisis. This increased the popularity of extremist groups as German citizens though this
