What were the long terms and short term causes of Hitler’s rise to power?

Hitler Started of as a person that was brought up in harsh conditions. He later joined the army in WW1 and when the war was over he had joined the DAP which he later changed to NSDAP (Nationalist Socialist Workers Party) Also known as NAZI Party. He had taken interest in this party as his beliefs were similar. He had later become the leader of this party by hard work. This was a great achievement but how did the Nazis rise to power so quickly.

There are many reasons in the long term to show how Hitler got in to power. The Nazi party members were mainly former army officials they were very organized. All of the people were skilled people that had discipline and obedience. They were well trained in working together and could get everything sorted very quickly. After Hitler was released from prison he had completely reorganized the party to make it more efficient. He had split the whole of Germany into Gaus.

Once there was an incident where there were billboards were placed by other parties and when the Nazi put their poster they had put their posters in black and white which attracted everyone to It. Propaganda attracted many people to Hitler and made them aware of what Hitler wants to do. Hitler had received massive support by the propaganda which made him power full by the peoples support during elections.

Their main objective was to get every ...
