Group+5+-+Hitler

Germany's desperation after WWI allowed a charismatic, determined leader to rise quickly to power. Hitler won the support of Germany's young population by taking advantage of the young, jobless men returning from war and then provided a strong, focused government for the masses that erased the previous failed democratic system. Hitler then used the people’s tendency to blame their problems on other during times of stress by claiming the minorities such as jews were responsible for their economic woes. Hitler used this scapegoating to increase his support from the masses by promising solutions to the many problems afflicting the German people he then used this support to allow him and the Nazi party to rise to power.

Paragraph 1: After WWI, thousands of soldiers returned from the war with no job and a distrust in their government; Hitler promised these young men things would improve if they supported him, which gave him a huge surge in popularity.

Paragraph 2: Hitler and the Nazi party used their powerful young support and Hitlers powerful charismatic personality to take advantage of the failing democratic government allowing them to use the previous systems failure to help them create a new stronger system.

Paragraph 3: Hitler blamed minorities such as Jews for the current economic problems facing Germany; this belief was embraced by the German people and led to them seeing Hitler as a leader who could solve their problems.
