1933-Contributions to Hitlers Rise to Power

Hitler had many contributions to his rise to power. He had the advantage of the hyperinflation in germany, the crash of the stock market in the U.S.A., the burning of the Reichstag, and the death of Germany's president. Hitlers first if not most important advantage was the hyperinflation in germany. The hyperinflation was due to a treaty that Germany signed after world war I. This treaty forced germany to pay large amounts of money which eventually was worth more than the country was worth. Because the country kept printing off money, it lost it's value and eventually became worthless. Because of this Hitler had an advantage by saying that he would get rid of the treaty of Versailles and remake Germany. The Germans believed him too because they wanted anyone in office who they thought could turn Germany around. In addition, When in the U.S. when the stock markets crashed Germany suffered severely. All of the people soon found out that their money and money put away for their kids was worthless. This gave Hitler a great opportunity. All he had to to was to do was to give the other Germans the idea that he would help them regain their jobs, get enough money to support their families and that would ensure that the Germans would vote Hitler into power. Finally the last advantage that helped get Hitler into power was the death of president Hindenburg. At the time when president Hindenburg died, Hitler was the chancellor. This meant that Hitler would basically have power in the government but he would still be under the supervision of the Government. This would tame Hitler while giving him power therefor pleasing the public but when the president died things turned for the worst. Hitler decided to combine the roles of Chancellor and president therefor creating the role of Fuhrer which Hitler appointed himself as finally giving him complete control.
