Why were the Nazi’s popular?
The main reason that the Nazi’s became popular is because of their leader Hitler. Hitler was brilliant speaker. His audience liked him because he had a booming voice, hypnotic eyes and fearful temper. Hitler held huge meeting or mass rallies. At first people thought Hitler was a very strong character- in the end he turns out to be amazingly strong! Also, that he is a kind-hearted person as he is risking his life for others. From his loud speeches, they would have figured that he is a very confident person.
In 1921, Hitler took over a small political party called ‘German Worker Party’ and he then renamed it the Nazi party. At this time, Germany was in a mess because, harvests were poor and unemployment was very high. Also the treaty of Versailles had been signed, and millions of Germans felt the treaty was a disgrace to the country. Britain, USA and France had takes land and money from Germany however; Germany couldn’t attack as one of the terms in the treaty was to reduce their army. When Hitler became leader of the Nazi Party, he he said the treaty was unfiar and he said that any land taken away from Germany must be returned. He also said that the French who thought were responsible for the Treaty being so tough must be destroyed. This most likely, would have been his most popular idea.
