The initial, main crisis in both the book and the 1939 film versions of The Wizard of Oz is the challenge of Dorothy and her pet dog Toto being lost and needing to find their way back home to Uncle Henry and Aunt Em.

How to get Dorothy and her pet dog Toto back home is the problem in "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz."

Specifically, there are many challenges and problems throughout the original 1900 book edition. But all action centers around the original problem of getting Dorothy and Toto back to their home in Kansas with Uncle Henry and Aunt Em. The story does not end until this main problem is solved.

How does the Wizard become powerful in 'The Wizard of Oz'?

That he appears in Oz at a time of crisis is the reason why the Wizard becomes powerful in "The Wizard of Oz."Specifically, the Wizard becomes stranded when his hot-air balloon carries him over the rainbow and into the magical land of Oz. But Oz experiences a crisis because the two wicked witches take over in eastern and western Oz and the ruler over all Oz is missing. As a humbug who is adept at scams, the Wizard knows how to manipulate people's emotions and does just that in getting Ozites on his side. He makes the Emerald City the center once again of Oz economic and political power and builds for himself the Emerald Palace as his flashy residence.
