What were the main factors that contributed to Hitler becoming chancellor in January 1933?

Soon Hitler was in charge of propaganda and in February 1920 he and Drexler wrote the 25-point programme of the German workers party.  Soon after Hitler took over the party and renamed it the National Socialist German Workers Party or NAZI for short.  Hitler was a very good public speaker and won people over with his powerful speeches.  

To help show the power of the Nazi party Hitler set up the SA or storm troopers.  It was made up of mostly young unemployed males trying to find a scene of belonging. They were used to brake up meetings being held by other parties such as the communists. They also played an important role in the attempt to seize power in the Munich Putsch.  On 8th November 1923 a meeting being held by Gustav Von Karr was taking part in the Munich beer halls was interrupted by Hitler who announced that he was going to take over the government of Bavaria.  By the following day Hitler had gathered 3,000 supporters in the centre of Munich, only to be broken up by the Bavarian police, 16 Nazis were killed and the putsch failed.  Hitler had managed to escape but was eventually arrested and sent to prison in Landsberg castle for 5 years.  This wasn’t the first time that the judge had been lenient on Hitler as he had stood before him on trial for murder and was known to support the Nazis.  During his time in prison Hitler wrote his book Mien Kampf about the future and the aims of the Nazi party.  But by now Germany was recovering its problems and life was beginning to go return to normal.  The Weimar republic became more popular as Germany started to get back on its feet. Gustav Stresseman became the new Chancellor.  By recalling the old worthless currency helped to level out inflation Germany began to recover.

Hitler was released in December 1924 to find that during his time in prison the Nazi party had become divided and was arguing amongst its self.  In 1926 Hitler set up the Hitler Youth movement.  This was a group like the guides or scouts.  They hiked, camped and were introduced to Hitler’s ideas.  

In 1929 Wall Street crashed and American investors started to pull back their loans, crippling Germany.  Unemployment reached 5.5 million people and the 5 major banks collapsed.  After this the government started increased usage of article 48.  After 3 more unsuccessful and short-lived chancellors Hitler became chancellor with the help of Von Papen who proffered Hitler to his rival Schleicher and would also be made Vice-chancellor.  Von Papen had persuaded Hindenberg into Hitler’s appointment thinking that he could be controlled and made to follow Hindenberg’s ideas.
