What movement did Hitler use to rise to power?

Answer 1

Hitler had three main steps to power.

The first was his moves to become head of the Nationalist Socialist (NAZI) Party of Germany following his return from WWI. Once he had actually found the party with which he so identified, he was able to become the head of it within a year.

The second move was to take over the existing German government, called the Wiemar Republic after what was then the capital city. He did this through a series of tricky moves. First, he managed to get his party a majority in the version of US Congress that the Germans had at that point. Once his party had that position, he was supposed to become the emperor's chancellor, but he refused that position, causing a crisis. When the emperor asked him again to become the chancellor, Hitler said that he would only take the job if the emperor stepped down. Seeing the righting on the wall, the emperor stepped down from his position in 1933, the same year that US President FDR was inaugurated, although it was a decade before they clashed.

The third and last move that Hitler did to get his power was to build the military. This was illegal according to the Versailles Treaty, which had ended WWI. However, because everyone remembered the Horror of that war, no one condemned Hitler for it, for fear of sparking another. It was during this time that Hitler and his puppet Mussolini of Italy began their revolution in Spain. Although they had little political interest there, they were able to use that war to hone their battle tactics.

After this war, Hitler felt ready to begin his conquest of the world for his German Reich, which he claimed would last a thousand years. It lasted only twelve.

volksgemeinshaft: his policy attracted the people that didnt vote for him previously.
