Group+4+-+Hitler

Due to previous economic and political failures, Germany's desire for radical change led to Hitler’s rise in power. The great depression and heavy inflation caused discontent within the German society. In addition to this, the unfair punishments set upon Germany by the Treaty of Versailles outraged the Germans as they believed that WWI ended in an armistice rather than a loss. Coupled with the existing discontent, the inability for former elites to solve the problems they created formed the perfect opportunity for Hitler to rise into power with an attempt for radical change.

Because the German citizens were unsatisfied with the previous government due to high inflation and the great depression, they were more open to Hitlers radical ideals.

Hitler's radical ideas appealed to the young generation due to the discontent caused by the former elites.

Hitler's rise to power can in part be explained by the anger of most Germans over the unfair terms of the Treaty of Versailles.
