Select and Explain the Most Important Factors that Led to Hitler’s Rise to Power in 1933?    Mahmoud Elsherif

Within this essay, I will pick and describe the main vital factors in Hitler’s rise to power. The factors I will pick are the Treaty of Versailles, His History, the Munich Putsch, The economic depression of 1929, his speech-making and management, and the verdict made by Von Papen and Hindenburg to employ Hitler as chancellor. I will describe and assess the factor’s importance and choose which are the main vital factors in Hitler’s rise to the higher order of the German administration.

The Treaty of Versailles was a terrible blow for Germany and its people because they had to accept the War Guilt Clause (this is to accept all blame for starting WW1) and they also had to pay $6.6 billion reparations. The people and government thought that the Allies were being really harsh to the people because they didn’t have enough money. But the Treaty created resentment towards not only the Allies but to the government themselves because they of might thought that the upper class wasn’t going to pay and the middle class thought they have to pay. People like the Nazis and Communists hated one group the “November criminals” (People who signed the Treaty of Versailles in November) Middle class felt betrayed by the upper class, it was like if they were “stabbed behind their back without noticing it.” Hitler promised to keep his word to the people by reversing the Treaty. He manipulated this because he knew everyone will love it. He said this following phrase “I would end national humiliation caused by defeat in the WW1” All Germans wanted to hear this to for reversing the Treaty. This was an important factor in his rise to power and this helped get off to a good start.

His history in the Nazis was another important factor to the rise to his power because after he left the army, In July 1919 Hitler was appointed to become V-Mann(police spy) of the Reichswehr and he was to infiltrate the German worker’s party Hitler was impressed with Drexler’s anti- semantic, nationalist and anti-Marxist ideas. Hitler met a man called Dietrich Eckart one of the founders of the Party and a member of Thule Society. Hitler liked this so he knew he will get more power, so he joined and in 1921 Hitler removed Drexler from being a leader and he became a leader instead. This made him become a more powerful man this helped everything to go on the way.

Hitler’s oratory and personality was highly effective to the crowd, if you saw all his pictures around all of Germany, you will see how successful he was. He told them about all things he will do and all the citizens were crying with belief and joy. Gregor Stressor, a leading Nazis said that Hitler was ‘the greatest speaker in the century” Hitler was unpredictable, influential and mesmerizing speaker. He used his talent to manipulate people; they understood everything he said; as he was the man who would “save Germany from decline”. Using his speeches he could manipulate anyone; from members ...
