Answer:
Great depression from 1929-1939. It sure was devastating to the people cause the stock markets crashed, there was unemployement , and unrest among people because of war. British government managed to tackle the problem even before the depression started.
Treaty of Versailles is treated as harsh and humiliating to the people of Germany cause they had to cut down their standing army, and also had to pay a large amount of money to the countries which won the war.
Germany suffered from hyperinflation due to the Great Depression, and also the extent of money they had to pay to the countries that won the war. Hitler is believed to help the country get back in a normal state by taking up state-controlled organizations, and Volkswagen took shape under such a plan.
Nazis were cruel and children were made to take oath of serving Hitler at a very tender age. None were allowed to talk against Nazis and Hitler. There were treaties with neighboring countries like Italy(Benito Mussolini) and apart from that Hitler was made leader of the Nazi party.
Hitler was a great speaker. He had Enabling act in favor. He also promised the people of Germany that he would undo the unfair treatment(due to the Versailles Treaty). He promised he would provide employment. On top of that, he had a Fascist ideology and blamed Jews for all the trouble which created hatred among people and wanted to destroy them somehow. He was made the Chancellor of the Nazi party and he and his party gained a majority in Reichstag in the year 1933 and then started his rule.
Enabling act- allows the Reich government to issue laws without the consent of Germany's parliament, the law was passed on March 23, 1933, and published the following day, abolished most civil liberties and transferred state powers to the Reich government, the combined effect of the two laws was to transform Hitler's government into a legal dictatorship.
