Adolf Hitler has made his way in history as a persuasive, insane socialist who many hated for many years. Hitler is known for cause the Holocaust and the result of many Jewish people being killed. He was born April 20th 1889 and died April 30th 1945.
[1] He first came to power at the end of WWI. In 1919 Hitler joined a political party named ''German Workers' Party'' and would be , a year later, best known as the ''Nazi Party''. This Nazi Party he was apart of looked down on the Treaty of Versailles--- a treaty of peace between the allied and associated powers of Germany. Hitler used his talent as being one of the best speakers of the Nazi Party to threaten his fellow members to either make him leader or he'll leave. As any group would do to not lose one of their best, they made him leader. That move was just a step up for Hitler to become more powerful. With the power as leader, Hitler used violence to get his words out there to let people know he was serious and with that he recruited people like him to the Nazi Party. His Nazi Party stood for violence. It was a way Hitler felt he could either prove his point or get his voice heard.Throughout the 20's Hitler was giving speeches, bringing in more members for the Nazi Party. By the end of that year, Hitler had racked up 2,000 people for his party.
[3] Hitler has had many reason for his rise to power. If asked what would be the most important reason for Hitler's power , I would have to say that each reason has fed off of each other in some way or has lead to one another. For example, the fact that his threat to leave the Nazi Party led to him threatening the Treaty of Versailles and bringing in more members for his party. It's as if he planned every step to go up the ladder. But if there was a reason for one to be more dominate than the others it would have to be him asking for leadership in the group. I think by the Nazi Party putting him as leader it gave him a chance to have some type of control although it was small control but in the long run it began to progress and led to various situations.[4] Some may say the depression was the most important disaster that has led to Hitler's rise to power. They say depression was one of the most important because after the economy collapsed, the Nazi's came to give people hope and that is when the German people became depended on the Nazi Party. I strongly disagree because with the collapse of the German economy Hitler would have still either been a victim of WWI or would be home with his wife on the couch. Without the power of the Nazi party, Hitler would not have gotten far (power wise).
To conclude things, Hitler was one of the most persuasive people in history. The fact that he had over 2,000 people join his Nazi group after one year conveys serious dominance.And for him to step all over the Treaty of Versailles is another huge thing. The Treaty of Versailles was meant to make peace, but he destroyed it and made war. After doing research I still believe that Hitler's power didn't come from one thing.It came from numerous things and I believe it began with the Nazi Party.
