Germany 1918-1933

Adolf Hitler was a very powerful mand, He made a LOT of changes in Germany. But, you start to wonder how exactly he got so powerful and victorious in such a short period of time.. There are so many things he took advantage of, some many events that helped him rise to power. The Treaty of Versailles. In 1919, after the Great War ended, a treaty between Germany, the UK, France and others, was made in order to end all conflicts from the war and to make peace. Unfortunately, as the treaty stated, Germany was blamed for most of the damage caused, and was forced to pay for repairs. They had no other choice but to sign the treaty. Of course the German people were not happy with this, and they were constantly waiting for someone to help. That's when Hitler saw this as his great opportunity to convince people of his power. He made people believe he would bring Germany's pride back, and become strong again. People believed. They just wanted a brighter future ahead of them. Another event that helped Hitler's rise to power, was the Reichstag Fire (1933). Even when Hitler was already deeply powerful, he still wanted more. This event was used to convince Germans that the Nazis were the only party that would actually help raise Germany back to happiness, by blaming the fire on the Communists. All of his followers believed on this acclamation. That's when all the others were taken away from Hitler's Game, leaving him in TOTAL power over Germany.
