The Rise of Fascism in Nazi Germany
The Rise of Fascism in Nazi Germany
After the end of World War 1 (WW1), Germany was in charge of
taking full responsibility for the money lost, the mass destruction, and the
lives that were killed. This greatly hindered the German economy, which
brought the whole country down. German soldiers returning home from the
war could not get the supplies they needed to survive and turned to fascism.
Not too long after WW1, the whole world went into a great depression,
which also did not help the German economy recover from their great loss of
money. Germany realized that they needed a new way of getting their wealth
and pride back, so they turned to fascism. The political leader of the
National Socialist German Workers, Adolph Hitler, was one of the main
figures in promoting this new fascist concept. Albert Speer assisted Hitler in
promoting the Nazi political machine. The Germans turned to Hitler because he offered to reach their
economic needs following WW1. The Germans could not resist the offer,
and proclaimed him Chancellor of Germany. While Hitler was in power, he
enforced fascism, which was "a government led by a dictator who had
absolute power, crushes other political parties, controls the economy and is a
strong nationalist" (dictionary.com). Through this philosophy Hitler
assumed full control and order of the German Government. He enforced
fascism through his personal guard, the SS. The fascist government was also
very racial and hated certain groups of people. One of the major policies, concerning the state was that you were only
to be allowed as a part of the state, if you were of German descent. Another
of the major policies was that you could only vote if you were, again, a part
of German descent. (F.L. Carsten, The Rise of Fascism). The economy also
had its rules, like staying loyal to the Nazi party of Germany. The major
