Hitler and How he Rose to Power?

How did Hitler rise to power? In September 1919 Hitler joined the German Workers party which will later become the Nazi party. He was undoubtedly one of the best speakers in the party. He was able to persuade a sea of people through his speeches. He was able to make a connection with the working class of the German population, he used the Jews as scapegoats for everything wrong with Germany. He went from having 2.6% of the vote to later becoming the face of Germany. Since Germany was so desperate for a voice/leader, Hitler was not shy to become that person. He believed a lot in survival of the fittest and to him, the fittest was the Aryan Race. Aryans were blonde-hair, blue-eyed people. He preached about how they are the supreme race and every other race should be subordinate. He put fear in others eyes that it's either the Nazi way or you die. That's how he rose to power so quickly, because of how desperate Germany was in need of a leader.

  1. I think some other key things that played a role with Hitler coming into power was the economic situation in Germany. Because of the incredible inflation, people started to look at the extreme ends of the political spectrum for help. Hitler and the Nazi party beat out the communists.
