Why was Hitler able to dominate Germany by 1934?

because he was years ahead of his time as communicator. Using films, radio and records he brought his message to millions. He traveled by plane all over Germany. He appeared as a dynamic man of the moment, the leader of a modern party with modern ideas. Under the organization of Josef Goebbels, Minister of Propaganda, Hitler spoke brilliantly at huge rallies, whipping the crowds into hysteria. Hitler’s personality has undoubtedly been one of the most important factors contributing to its success. He had great ability to influence a popular assembly not by his arguments, but by his manner. He agitated nationalist passions in his audiences. All these personal features helped Hitler to be voted by many Germans and to become Chancellor in 1933. The steghtening of the party also helped. By 1923 Hitler had become the leader of the Nazi party which had its own private army called the brownshirts and its own flag. In that year the nazi party organized the Munich putsch which was a demonstration in attempt to take over the government. But they failed, they were quickly dispersed and a group, including Hitler, was arrested. After this, Hitler learned that he should concentrate on the legal path to power, increasing the number of seats of the Reichstag (German parliament). In 1932, the nazi party was the largest single party in the Reichstag so Hitler demanded that he should be made chancellor (Prime Minister). The president refused but his government was weak with the Nazis and communists in opposition, so in 1933 the president was forced to agree. In conclusion, the success of the Nazi party was due to 4 main reasons: the economic depression and the discontent with the government; careful organization and huge campaigning of the Nazi party; fear of communism; they took advantage of the resentment over the terms of the treaty of Versailles.
