Hey, so i got an assignment regarding germany and my question was:
Account for the Nazi seizure of power in 1933 which i translated to:
Give reasons for the Nazi seizure of power in 1933My points that i have brainstormed are:
• Nationalism
• Anger at the treaty of Versailles
• Economic depression
o Failure of the Weinmar Republic?
• Appeal of the Nazi party
• Removal of opponents -> riechstag fire ->hitlers powers -> fire used as an excuse to remove Nazi political enemies
• Gobbels propaganda machine
• Hindenburg + Papel making hitler chancellor, thinking they could control him
• Workers turned to communism -> frightened big business owners -> funded hitlers campaign
Another way i laid them out is:
• Fall of the Weinmar republic
o Anger at the treaty of Versallies
o Economic problems
o Global financial crisis-affected America which in turn affected Germany
• Rise of the Nazi parties appeal
o Vulnerability and downfall of the Weinmar republic
o Appointment of hitler as chancellor by Hidenburg and Papel-thought they could control him
o Propaganda-appealing to the german people that the Nazis were the soloution to Germanys problems
• Lack of opposition
o Weakness of the opposition-support of some german people, secret police (gestappo), hitlers cemented position made opposition difficult
o Illegitamacy of opposition. Nazis vs WR-hitlers nationalistic appeal
So these are all my points (in 2 different forms). If anyone could give me any advice about which points to focus on primarialy (for a 1500 word essay) or how i should restructure them, or any big ones that i have missed out on; OR ANYTHING
That would be a big help!
Thanks in advance!
