Question

Give 5 reasons to explain rise of hitler.

Answer 1

ANSWER_______________

Following are five important causes of the rise oof Hitler______




Humiliating Treaty of Versailles –

The terms of the Versailles treaty were seen as completely humiliating and the Germans blamed the political leadership of the Weimar Republic for the humiliation. This widespread resentment and humiliation was harnessed by Hitler to gain political mileage. He exhorted the Germans to throw the Treaty into the waste paper basket, rebuild the German Empire, recapture lost colonies and avenge the humiliation faced by Germany.



Growing Fear of Communism –

After the Bolsheviks Revolution the Communist influence in Germany also increased. They organise themselves politically and succeeded in winning several seats in the Reichstag. Hitler was a staunch anti communist and raised to the bogey that if Communist came to power they would follow the diktats of their Russian comrades blindly.



Economic Crisis —

As a result of the harsh terms of Versailles Treaty, Germany had to suffer in agricultural production, colonies, foreign investment, trade contracts, etc. The Nazis in general assured the people that if the supported Nazism, all their problems would vanish.



Resurgence of Militant Nationalism —

The Germans could not concilie with the intricacies of the German democratic parliamentary system and preferred prestige and glory over liberty and freedom. They thought that only a strong man could restore the past prestige of Germany and check communism.



Absence of Strong Opposition —

The rise of Nazi party can be partly blamed on the absence of any strong opposition group or political party. As a result, the Nazi party didn't have any serious political opposition and nobody could check the rise in its popularity.
