How did the defeat of the Germans in 1918 help Hitler rise to power?

Answer 1

In an effort to "punish" Germany and prevent the German leadership from considering future war efforts, other nations brought financial sanctions limiting business and hopefully preventing German capabilities of future war. It backfired. The sanctions were too harsh and coupled with the general financial depression of the 30's German citizens suffered even more than many of their European neighbors. Hitler gained popularity by promising prosperity for Germans, blamed much of their condition on the Jews and after getting into power he quietly built a powerful army. He was able to convince Germans that the Aryan race, not just the Caucasians, but a specific sub-group of Caucasians with specific physical characteristics was superior to all others. These he called the "master race". Many of the Germans loved to hear that. It proved what some already believed, and the others wanted to think of themselves as special. Hitler was livid when a black man from the United States won a race in the Olympics. He believed that Germans should have won everything. Members of the NAZI party were not just political ideologues, they were hand picked for matching the Aryan profile. By believing that all others were inferior and therefore less worthy, Germans were justified in their actions. Germans truly believed that they could manage the world far more efficiently. They believed that the Jews would always be greedy and always run the banks and other financial institutions and that the world could not function as long as they lived. NAZI

Answer 2

The defeat of the Germans lost alot of money due to the treaty of Versailles which was a treaty inwhich Germany had to be alot of Marks to the Allies for the first world war. Since the German nation was punished by the allies more than needed, Hitler stood up and said lets be strong and lets become a real country again, of course people agreed, Germany was at a all time low in the econamy and financial side of things. This was one of the advantages Hitler had. All the other politicans seemed scared that they would anger the allies whereas Hitler differed and that's why the people of Germany favoured him and his party.

Answer 3

Germany was blamed for the beginning of world war one. They had a lot of economic problems afterwards. The civilians couldn't rely on their government and so then turned to other political parties, Hitler being one of them. He convinced them that it was the Jews fault through Propaganda. people began to believe him and then World War 2.
