Well, it certainly wasn't the only cause, but here's what happened.
After World War I, France (and other nations, but mainly France) got greedy. The French basically wanted to use the war as an excuse to destroy Germany (and therefore enhance France's power in Europe) by crippling it economically. Portions of German territory were seized by other nations, and Germany was saddled with a staggering debt for "war reparations".
The United States refused to sign the Treaty of Versailles (which contained these provisions) and had instead concluded a separate treaty with the Central Powers. The US was not interested in crippling Germany and in fact wanted Germany as a trading partner. In order to help Germany make the reparations payments with its weak economy after the war, the US loaned money to Germany.
Then came 1929 and the Stock Market crash. That ended the loans, and also dried up US markets for German goods, which was significant as the US was an important trading partner for Germany. US unemployment during the Great Depression was about 25%; German unemployment in the same period was around 33%.
Unemployed Germans, bitter about the terms of the Treaty of Versailles (which Germany had not even been allowed to participate in the negotiation of), were eager to follow anyone who promised a return to prosperity. The National Socialist Workers' Party did just that.
