How Did Hitler Rise to Power?

The rise of Adolf Hitler (1889-1945), the Nazi dictator of Germany from 1933, was enabled by those already in power eager to take advantage of his popularity. Hitler promised to make Germany great again after the humiliation of WWI by restoring Germany's lost territories, returning to traditional German values, achieving full employment, and destroying 'enemies' like Communists and Jewish people.

Hitler's rise to power was a surprisingly long process, involving many steps and several significant setbacks such as his imprisonment following the failed coup known as the Beer Hall Putsch in November 1923. Hitler's rise to power effectively took a decade, with the Nazi Party gaining just 12 seats in elections for the German Reichstag (Parliament) in 1928 (from a total of 491 in that election), 107 in 1930, 230 in July 1932, 196 in November 1932, and 288 seats in 1933. Once securely in power as chancellor, in 1933, Hitler quickly eliminated all opposition and established a totalitarian regime with himself as undisputed dictator, Germany's Führer.

Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party rose to power for the following reasons:

The harsh terms of the Treaty of Versailles riled many Germans, especially the guilt clause for starting WWI, and traditional political parties were tarnished by association with the signing of the treaty. Hitler promised to overturn the treaty and restore German pride.

The fallout of the Great Depression led to mass unemployment and hyperinflation leading voters to turn to more extreme political parties.

The weakness and ineptitude of successive Weimar Republic coalition governments.

Hitler promised full employment through such programmes as road building and rearmament.

In return for their support, Hitler promised business leaders lucrative state contracts such as arms manufacturing. This idea was also popular with the German Army.

Hitler appealed to traditional German beliefs like the greatness of the nation, strong family values, and a classless society.

Hitler promised an expansion of Germany to find new lands and Lebensraum ('living space') where the German people could prosper.

Hitler used propaganda to identify what the Nazis described as common enemies of the state, such as outsiders and Jewish people who, he claimed, were holding Germany back.

A cult of Hitler was created, which promoted the idea that he was the saviour of Germany.

The establishment thought that by inviting Hitler to power, they could better control the Nazi phenomenon and benefit from its popularity themselves.

Once made chancellor, Hitler used his power to eliminate rivals. He ensured the German parliament had little power and began to establish a dictatorship with himself as the undisputed head of a one-party police state.

Historians continue to debate the weight of each of the above points in accounting for Hitler's rise to power.

The Treaty of Versailles

The First World War (1914-18) was formally terminated by the Treaty of Versailles, which dictated the terms of the German surrender. Germany lost a significant part of its territory, was obliged to pay reparations, and had to accept full responsibility for starting the conflict. The German people protested at these terms in 1919, and those German politicians who had agreed to it were widely referred to as 'the criminals of 1919'. This resentment was fuelled by the myth that the German people had been let down in WWI by the high command of their army, which had 'stabbed them in the back', otherwise, they might have won the war, many thought. Consequently, there was a feeling that the political and military establishment of the new Germany, the Weimar Republic (1918-33), could not be fully trusted.

The fascist National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP or Nazi Party for short) was founded in 1920. The party was neither socialist nor at all interested in workers, but Adolf Hitler had chosen the name to give his ultra-nationalist party as wide an appeal as possible. Hitler was able to exploit the anti-establishment feeling as the Nazis were complete outsiders. As early as 1925, in his book Mein Kampf, Hitler promised to abolish the terms of Versailles and create a new 'Greater Germany'.

Comment Hitler est-il Arrivé au Pouvoir?

L'ascension d'Adolf Hitler (1889-1945), le dictateur nazi de l'Allemagne à partir de 1933, fut favorisée par ceux qui étaient déjà au pouvoir et qui souhaitaient profiter de sa popularité. Hitler promit de rendre à l'Allemagne sa grandeur après l'humiliation de la Première Guerre mondiale en restaurant les territoires perdus, en revenant aux valeurs allemandes traditionnelles, en atteignant le plein emploi et en détruisant les "ennemis" tels que les communistes et les juifs.

Pacto nazi-soviético

El Pacto nazi-soviético, también denominado Pacto Ribbentrop-Mólotov en reconocimiento a los respectivos ministros de asuntos exteriores de la URSS y Alemania, fue un acuerdo de no agresión firmado en agosto de 1939. El pacto le permitió al líder de la Alemania nazi Adolf Hitler (1889-1945) atacar Polonia y después Europa occidental sin tener que enfrentarse de manera simultánea al ejército soviético. Por la otra parte, el líder de la URSS, Iósif Stalin (1878-1953), adquirió libertad de acción en Europa del este, y ganó tiempo para continuar su rearme.

Hitler

Adolf Hitler is famously known for his atrocities during World War II as the leader of Nazi Germany. However, before he rose to power, he had aspirations of becoming an artist.

In 1907, Hitler moved to Vienna to pursue his dream of attending the Academy of Fine Arts. He applied twice but was rejected both times due to his lack of talent.

The rejection was devastating for Hitler, who saw himself as a gifted artist. He spent much of his time in Vienna in poverty, living in hostels and selling his paintings to make ends meet.

It is believed that Hitler's rejection from art school played a significant role in shaping his worldview and contributing to his hatred of modern art, which he deemed as "degenerate."

Had Hitler been accepted into art school, the course of history might have been different. However, the rejection forced him to explore other avenues, and he eventually became involved in politics, which led to his rise to power and the atrocities committed during World War II.

Hitler's rejection from art school serves as a reminder of the importance of resilience and adapting to setbacks, as well as the potential consequences of extreme ideologies and hate.

Below is one of the artwork of Hitler!

Dreams can be the source of our deepest passions and aspirations, driving us to pursue our goals with unwavering determination. However, they can also lead to disappointment and frustration when they seem out of reach or take longer than expected to achieve. It is essential to approach our dreams with a realistic and grounded mindset, understanding that they require patience, dedication, and hard work. We must also be willing to adapt and adjust our goals as we encounter setbacks or unforeseen circumstances.

Nazi-Soviet Pact

The Nazi-Soviet Pact, also called the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact after the respective foreign ministers of the USSR and Germany, was a non-aggression agreement signed in August 1939. The pact allowed the leader of Nazi Germany Adolf Hitler (1889-1945) to attack Poland and then Western Europe without having to face at the same time a Soviet army. Meanwhile, the leader of the USSR Joseph Stalin (1878-1953) acquired freedom of action in Eastern Europe and bought valuable time to continue rearmament.

The Nazi-Soviet Pact carved up Central and Eastern Europe into two spheres of influence between the two signees, led to direct occupations of free countries, and directly influenced where much of the fighting occurred in the first two years of the Second World War (1939-45). The agreement was, though, shattered when Germany attacked the USSR in June 1941.

Hitler's Foreign Policy

In order to understand why the USSR signed a treaty with Germany and not Britain or France in 1939, it is necessary to retrace the hectic developments in European affairs through the 1930s. When Adolf Hitler took power in Germany in 1933, he set out on an aggressive foreign policy of absorbing neighbouring territories. This was something Hitler had written about in his 1925 book Mein Kampf where he described the need for Lebensraum ('living space') for the German people, that is, new lands where they could prosper. This land would be sought for in the East. In addition, Hitler had long promised the German people that he would overturn the humiliating losses and restrictions imposed by the Treaty of Versailles that formally concluded the First World War (1914-18), which Germany had lost. The Saar region was taken back (1935), the Rhineland was remilitarised and Germany began to rearm (1936), then Austria was absorbed into Hitler's Third Reich (1938). In 1938, Hitler looked to Czechoslovakia.

The League of Nations (the forerunner of today's United Nations), which had been created after WWI to promote world peace, had proved itself to be inadequate when it came to aggressor states attacking weaker states. This weakness was particularly evident when Japan invaded Chinese Manchuria in 1931 and Italy invaded Abyssinia (Ethiopia) in 1935. Hitler's aggression also failed to rouse any meaningful response from the League. The USSR's leader Joseph Stalin must have watched all of these events with dismay as Germany expanded eastwards.

Anschluss

L'Anschluss ("rattachement") du 12 mars 1938 est l'annexion et l'union formelle de l'Autriche avec l'Allemagne. Adolf Hitler (1889-1945), le dirigeant nazi de l'Allemagne, rêvait d'un empire qui engloberait tous les germanophones, sa "Grande Allemagne". L'invasion militaire d'Hitler ne rencontra aucune résistance ou réponse significative de la part des puissances étrangères, et l'Autriche fut donc absorbée par le Troisième Reich.
