Jonathan Baer/ Kevin Eggert The Rise of Hitler

As a result of the Treaty of Versailles and The Great Depression, Germany's democratic government was in shambles. The masses believed that the “in media” government was the cause of their suffering and longed for a radical solution. Adolf Hitler was the first political leader to rise and represent the appeal of the masses. Hitler rose to power due to discontent in the masses for the ineffective and leaderless democratic government.

The Masses after WWI were unhappy with what came out of the Treaty of Versailles. They lost land, resources, and no leader would step up.  · Peace terms imposed on them  · Inflation of 1923  · Great Depression led to a collapse of what they had rebuilt

Germany's democratic system after WWI was ineffective and lacked the support of the Left or the Right.  · No support from the masses or the left and right  · No true leader; Germany needed a charismatic leader to take the interest of the masses and create a nationalistic environment, which would create a good climate for rebuilding  · <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Neither left nor right supported it, so it didn’t have any popularity; believed that this government was behind the failure at Versailles.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">Germany did not have a single leader who led the masses and this caused suffering and anger from the masses. <span style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0.75in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-indent: -0.25in; vertical-align: middle;"> · <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Germany not unified, needed a leader=> <span style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0.75in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-indent: -0.25in; vertical-align: middle;"> · <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Masses didn't give support due to discontent for the lack of a leader.

Hitler did, and that is one of the reasons why he gained support
