Hitler’s Rise To Power: An Inevitable Offshoot of the Great Depression in Germany

The big Depression caused by the Stock Markets collapse in 1929 touched the American economy like no other economic crisis in its history (Samuelson, n. d. ). Being the most severe depression experienced by the industrialize Western world (Nelson, n. d. ), its effects rippled to other economies, especially to that of Germany. The German economy was notably vulnerable because it was built out of foreign capital and was babelike on foreign trade (Gavin, 1996). The Depression abruptly restructured German society and thus, led people to seek any solution to end the crisis.Hitler proved to be the solution that Germany was looking for. Although his views were unpopular among the public, he took advantage of the hopelessness which the people felt during the Depression. Moreover, other factors that were already present in the 1920s sped his rise to popularity. somewhat of these were long term bitterness among the people brought about by the Treaty of Versailles and the First World War in effective constitution money for Hitlers campaign and propaganda the origination of propaganda and programmes Stormtrooper attacks on other parties and on Hitlers detractors as well as his personal atributes.After 1929, two other influential factors aided Hitler and ensured his success politically the Great Depression and Hitlers recruitment by Hindenburg (Clare, 2006). Hitlers rise to power was successful and yet avoidable. His success was largely due from external factors which he exploited using duress, superstar and propaganda (Clare, 2006). Indeed, if the Depression had not happened chances are, there would have been no Hitler.ReferencesClare, John. (2006). How Was Hitler Able To Become Chancellor in January 1933?
