...Evaluation of Sources What factors led to Hitler's rise to power? I believe the answer to this can be put into three different categories of factors: international, domestic, and personal. Several sources talk about this, but some do exceptionally well in providing accurate information. One of these sources is BBC’s article “Hitler’s Rise to Power.” This source is valuable because it provides accurate, relevant information in an organized and easy to read way.

...powerful world leader might come into power, Max Weber's theory of 'charismatic domination' is, by far, the best theory by which to tell how Adolf Hitler came to hold the top seat in one of Europe's then-most dominant countries. The theory describes this type of ruling as devoted believers of a certain leader leaning towards being radically for the leader's "heroism, greatness, and mission", which gives credence to it being an "inherently unstable" form of rule. This is due to its tendency to rise during times of crises, so that once they averted their crises, the system will, eventually, crumble from either not being able to satisfy the people anymore or from being so routine that it undermines...

...In the words of Will Durant “When liberty becomes license, dictatorship is near.”. Adolf Hitler was designated as the chancellor on January 30, 1933. He was a dictator and a leader of Germany. It was a horrible time period for Germany during the time of Hitler’s control. Adolf Hitler’s reign of terror started when he used the monetary sadness to become the chancellor, he started the World War II, which was dreadful, and he had an awful impact on the Jews’ whom he referred to as the “undesirables”. One of the biggest factors in Hitler’s rise to power was the economic depression in 1929. In “Hitler Comes to Power” by Patricia Smith, it states “The Nazis promised to stop reparation payments, to give all Germans jobs and food, and to make them...

...History Unit 2 Test 5. Hitler and the National Socialist Party gained power because of Germany’s economic depression and the people’s lack of faith in the Weimar Republic. Germany was a country where millions of people did not have jobs and the country was still being suppressed from the effects of World War 1. When the German referendum took place and ultimately failed in 1929, the party gained more publicity through propaganda. Hitler’s rise to become a chancellor was due to Hitler’s supporters demanding Hindenburg give Hitler power due to the inevitable anarchy. The downfall of the communist party was Hitler’s true rise to absolute power and took place due to the burning of the Reichstag. It was blamed on the communist party and in 1934,...

...Expanding from his role as president, Adolf Hitler created the role of Fuhrer, tyrannical leader, for himself. During his reign as the Fascist dictator of Germany, he devised a plan to segregate and murder Jews. As Hitler rose to power, he conquered and becoming the ruler of other countries, his regime established three detainment facilities: ghettos, concentration camps, and forced labor camps. Hitler’s prisoners were forced to live under harsh conditions without a trial. As a result, many Jews tried to flee to neighboring countries that were not under Hitler’s occupation to find shelter and survive. In March 1938, Nazi Germany invaded and took over Austria. Concerned Austrian Jews immediately tried to immigrate to Switzerland, a neutral...

...the entire globe. The lives of over 16 million people were lost in this war, which knocked the wind out of many countries. While many were mourning however, some saw it as a opportunity to climb to the top of the ranks and gain power. One infamous dictator that rose to power during this time was Adolf Hitler. Adolf was responsible for the death of over 6 million jews, and accomplished this by setting up over 42,000 camps to enclose them for the use of hard labor or to be gassed to death. In 1930, Germany was in a very depressed state, not only were they consumed by economic depression, but they had a humiliating defeat in WW1 not only fifteen years ago. Germany was in need of a new leader, and Adolf sought this as his chance. Adolf was aware that the country was desperate for a leader to solve their problems, and to pull them out of their economic depression....

...Hitler's main cause to power was their loss in wwi, all the people their were out of jobs and germany was in an economic depression. Over six million were out of jobs and wanted a change. He promised them a better future and they were oppressed by the economy. Hitler was appointed in 1933 and immediately took away people's rights. He took away freedom of press speech and assembly. He then made a nazi police force (SA) to enforce this and they had no need for warrants at all. Hitler used terror to his advantage, he suited up 10000s SA to be his force on the ground. They beat and killed anybody opposing him. This helped their economy because those cops were all jobless. The ss were hitler's special guards who were more elite than the normal cops...

...Ask Hon (4/23/18) states that "Hitler's rise to power started when he became politically involved and joined the Deutsche Arbiters party. " This was one of the first groups Hitler joined to grow in power. "He quickly became party leader and turned the group into Nazi's. He would work his way up the ranks of all the groups until he is the leader and then turns them into Nazis. He would often use violence or threatens to move up in ranks." He realized that he was one of the best speakers in all of his parties and demanded that they make him party leader, or he would walk...

...Adam Freeman Mr. Gotsell U.S History II 4/10/15 Hitler's Rise to Power At the end of World War I, Germany was in shambles, there were many young men dead, many seriously injured, and a lot of damage to cities, factories, homes, and transportation. In the face of this devastation, the German public fell under the influence of Adolf Hitler, who was very intelligent and knew that he could teach the german people however he wanted since they were in need of great help. Adolf was born in 1889 on April 20th, as a child he gathered his anti semitic ideas in Vienna. As people would join in and discriminate against other religions, like the Jews. At a young age both of his parents ended up dying and leaving him parentless the rest of his life....

...Hitler’s Rise to Power Adolf Hitler was born April 20, 1889 in Braunau am Inn, Austria. His father, Alois, was a civil servant and died when Hitler was 13. As a kid, Hitler had dreams of becoming an artist, but his father wanted him to be a civil servant like him. In school Hitler played many rude pranks on his teachers, and was an awkward boy. As an early teen, he had an interest in German nationalism and strongly admired a powerful politician Lueger. Alike Hitler’s great speaking skills later in life, Lueger knew how to use propaganda effectively to gain popular appeal. After moving to Vienna to pursue his art career, Hitler became depressed upon failing the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna’s entrance exam and having his mother diagnosed with breast cancer. In 1914 Hitler was drafted as a dispatch runner in World War I. His job was to take messages back and forth from the command staff in the rear to the fighting units near the battlefield, although Hitler...

...How Hitler became Chancellor in 1933 Hitler, the very name of the man is no more than a whisper in the new Germany that was born out of the fires and humiliation of WW2 and foreign occupation. Historians such as Ian Kershaw even dare to ask; “Has this been Hitler’s century?” .The very fact that one could even consider a century to be defined by one man is testimony to this man’s lasting effect on not just Germany or Europe, but the world. The common view of history is that Hitler forcibly took power by means of extreme violence, fear and propaganda. There is some truth to this assertion, but the reality is that Adolf Hitler actually came to power by democratic means. The question I am going to answer is how and why a man like Hitler was able to make a mockery of the democratic system we uphold as the pinnacle of government, by getting himself appointed as chancellor of Germany in January of 1933. In understanding how Hitler was able to become chancellor, it is impervious to bring to light the conditions present in 1920s and 1930s Germany. To begin with Germans were deeply bitter about the humiliation they suffered as a result of losing the First World War. The perceived truth believed by most Germans was that they had not started the First World War, or lost it! The resulting blame for this deep embarrassment fell on the shoulders of communists, capitalists, weak politicians and Jews. Finding the NSDAP’s intentions to target these groups with the help of their vicious Sturmabteilung...

...In the years between WWI and WWII, Adolf Hitler rose to power in Germany, a country recently devastated by the loss of the first world war. At the end of WWI all the countries involved in the war meet in Versailles to discuss the terms of peace. The peace treaty, known as the Treaty of Versailles, placed harsh punishments on Germany. Germany was forced to pay for the cost of the war, and accept full blame for the war. Also, in order to weaken Germany, territory was taken from Germany and given to other countries, or used to create new countries. These terms of peace left Germany impoverished and its people angry. Hitler’s inevitable rise to power was a direct result of the reparations, war guilt, and loss of territory demanded by the Treaty...

...An Exposition Into Hitler’s Mindset Adolf Hitler is considered one of the world’s worst men to ever walk the planet, he was a vicious dictator who lead and entire country of people into its largest war for his own gain. One of the most interesting parts about Hitler, though, is his own personal history. I am going to outline three areas of Hitler’s life, his issues from his past, specifically his childhood, his rise to power and what lead to his hatred for the Jews, and what the widely accepted beliefs are about his psychological state. It is clear that Hitler had a horrific past, he was beaten by his father, and he was left on the streets after the art school he had wanted to go to for years denied him, it is understandable that Hitler...

...The rise to power of Adolf Hitler was not just some fluke of history, as many would have you believe. It was all part of a conspiracy planned out in advance by heads of multi national corporations, international bankers, and globalist politicians. The same forces that are behind the worldwide chaos we are witnessing now, were behind the rise of Hitler, and were directly responsible for World War II. The Treaty of Versailles was one of the most important causes that led to Hitler's rise in Germany. From the German point of view the treaty was incredibly harsh and devastating for Germany. The leaders of the allies drew up this treaty to purposely revenge and weaken Germany. The treaty contained five major points that would be Germany's demise. The first part was to revenge and weaken Germany. Many rules were laid down to Germany, which they had to obey. The German territory to the west of the Rhine would be occupied by allied troops for 15 years. The Germans did not like this because they did not want enemy troops in their own country. Even though the war was over they still hated the allies. Germany was not allowed to put any defences or troops on the east bank of the Rhine. This made Germany feel weak and vulnerable to invasion. They also hated the thought of a foreign president telling them what to do. Germany had to agree never to combine with Austria again. They had to strictly respect the independence of Austria. This was hard for both countries to accept as they both...
