This is not meant to be discriminatory.
After WW1, Germany was a mess - at certain points, their money was literally not worth the paper it was printed on. That's a very scary thing to have happen, because you're never sure if you'll get food or clothing or medicine if you get sick. And when things are going that badly and people are scared, they often look for someone to blame or something to do, because then they are less scared. They also look for a leader, because they need someone to protect them.
Hitler was a very charismatic speaker, who filled the role of leader really well. And he picked the Jews as the people to blame, along with Communists, intellectuals, homosexuals, etc. He also gave the German people a vision of themselves as perfect and ideal, with a higher calling that could only be fulfilled if they got rid of undesireables. All those things are very, very inviting ideas if you are starving and frightened, and it worked.
It's also true that orthodox Jewish religious doctrine encourages Jews to think of themselves as "God's Chosen People" and a cut above the rest of us.
Put that together with certain behaviors that set them apart (distinctive clothing and hair styles among the Chasidim, for example) and it's not hard for unscrupulous people in power to take the heat off themselves by pointing at the "foreigners", the ones who aren't "real" Germans/English/Americans/whatever.
The same scapegoating is currently underway in the US, with Muslim Americans and Arab-Americans as the victims.
During WW2 it was Japanese-Americans, and in WW1 the German-Americans. We're not currently rounding up the Muslims or Arabs and putting them in concentration camps, the way we did the Japanese-Americans in WW2, but what will happen next year?
Comments1. Many of the points in the second contribution are not well informed and are based on inaccurate and irrelevant stereotypes and guesswork.
2. Germany was one of leading bastions of Reform Judaism, and by c.1880 most Jews were highly integrated in German society. Many made a point of avoiding conspicuous difference, and some went out of their way to be thoroughly German. (Only a minority were Othodox and they were certainly not Chassidic!) It has sometimes been said that the level of integration was a double edged thing and made it easy for the Nazis to talk about 'secret' Jews 'lurking' in all kinds of unlikely places close to the levers of power. In reality the Jews were in a 'no-win' situation.
3. Similarly, most German Jews downplayed or simply didn't talk about being 'God's chosen people'. (Incidentally, it's not unknown for born again Christians to talk in rather similar terms).
I think one must look for other answers to this question. Key points include these:
- German nationalists found the defeat of Germany in World War 1 unbearable - much more unbearable than the Treaty of Versailles - and retreated into denial of the defeat and a deep-seated yearning for a 're-run' of World War 1.
- The German nationalists therefore claimed that Germany had not be defeated on the battlefield but had been stabbed in the back by subversives on the home front.
- The more extreme Nationalists demonized "the Jews" as Communists and subversives and as part of a worldwide Bolshevik conspiracy.
- In the immediate aftermath of World War 1 and in the 1920s Germany was war weary and views 1-3 appealed only to a minority of the German electorate. From 1930 on, the devastating effects of the Great Depression caused immense frustration and anger, and changed the situation.
- The Nazi leadership did not, of course, publicize the Holocaust or its various other atrocities. Most ordinary Germans didn't want to know these things. The German population was not informed about the Holocaust and it certainly was not something that was discussed in public. The number of Germans actively involved was relatively small.

Why did the Nazi party win the loyalty of young Germans?
In the Third Reich, most young boys joined the "Deutsche Jungvolk" and then proceeded to the "Hitlerjugend" (HJ), while girls were part of the "Deutscher Jungmädelbund" and afterwards joined the "Bund Deutscher Mädel".
Since in a fascist nation it is very hard to differ from the rest, most people had their children join these groups, which replaced all other legal youth organizations in Nazi germany. As far as i know, the HJ was kind of a mix of boy scouts, youth group and indoctrination machine.
Young people learned from the very beginning of their lives to follow the ways of their leader, who in turn promised them a glorious nation of 'Aryan' people, free of any 'contamination'. The enemy stereotypes 'Jew' and 'Not german' were etched on the memory and mind of most germans, thus making it rather easy to unite them against it.
Disclaimer: I am in no way antisemitic, racist or fascist. The terms in double apostrophes are the official names used by the fascist regime of the Third Reich.Since English is not my native languague, I used single apostrophes for terms that I think may offend some people in this context, so feel free to change them for more appropriate synonyms.
Who was German dictator and leader of the nazi party called der fuhrer?
Adolf Hitler. For him, it wasn't necessarily hard to achieve total power, but it was a bit time-consuming. He was a powerful and motivational speaker. It would have been hard to ignore him or even try.
The Treaty of Versailles was, viewed from an objective point of view, manifestly unfair on Germany. However it is coloured by the demands in territory & economic demands of Prussia (Germany) following their victory over the French in the 1870-71 war. Versailles made Germany poorer, created resentment and fostered a desire for revenge. The Great Depression added to this and it might be argued affected the poorest most. The breeding ground for Nationalism was established, along with a focus for all the ills of the world, and Hitler was able to find mass support for his rabble rousing invective. The Versailles Treaty with the benefits it may have had to other countries was so disproportioate towards Germany that its effects were so penalising that, for the German population as a whole, a feeling that they had nothing to lose was an appealing option. Hitler appealed greatly to this strand of thought. Although I am not saying that Versailles created the Depression, it didn't, it did not help.

What nation did the Nazi Party win control over in 1933?
Adolf Hitler's NSDAP the National Zocialiste Deustsche Arbeiter Partei (National German Workers Party) aka the "NAZI" party was a small, often ridiculed political party that started in the early 1920's in Munich, during the bitter poverty and humiliation of Germany after it's defeat in WWI. Hitler built it up into a huge success, with a large following, and by 1933, was able to narrowly win the election, followed by appointment of Adolf Hitler as Chancellor of Germany. After his election, he set about removing the checks and balances that had been in place, ended up controlling the military and everything else, and the rest is history.
During the Russian Revolution in the early 1900's, the Mensheviks (which translated in Russian means the smaller ones or the tinier group). The Mensheviks were the rich elite of Russia and they fought against the Bolsheviks or the larger ones. The Bolsheviks were the serfs and peasants which rose up against the rich elite, similar to the earlier French Revolution. The Bolsheviks made up most of the Russian population and eventually won the civil war raging on in Russia based on their large numbers.
How long has the US Republican Party been conservative?
US Republican Party became a conservative political party in the 1950s and 1960s as the Democratic Party broke between the northern Democrats, who were more left-wing and became the Democratic Party of today, and the southern Democrats or Dixiecrats, who were much more conservative in their viewpoints, especially on the question of legal equality between Whites and Blacks. As the northern Democrats pushed for expanding welfare programs, the war on drugs, and the Civil Rights Movement, the Republican leadership realized that it could capitalize on the divide between Democrats and capture the Dixiecrat vote by becoming more conservative.
Why were the Nazi party called the National Socialist German Workers' Party when they were fascists?
Because at the time that the Nazis came into power, the German people were in a great state of despair. The name, as well as their early tactics to come into power were directed towards making the people feel that their party was there to help them, rather than harm them.
The idea of National Socialism was to foster a great love for the nation above that of the self. So that the people would be willing to sacrifice much for the state.

What was the purpose of the 2 political party system?

How can you promote unity in a nation?
Funamentally, there has NEVER been "peace" the world over. Conflicts have a huge variety of causes and methods, most of it rooted in the fundamental nature of humans to compete over limited resources, and to dream up ways to divide humanity into groups of "us" vs "them".
The question is unanswerable, because we simply don't understand the reasons why conflict occurs in the first place well enough to say: if the conflict is caused by X, we do Y to stop it.
Even for maintaining large portions of the world at peace, there is no good formulae, because everything that's been tried eventually fails. This is not to say that we're doomed to always fail, but that expecting a formula for "peace" which can't adapt to changing times WILL always fail eventually.
What are good reasons for voting?
Voting is how you voice your opinion about a certain topic, be it presidential elections or bond voting. If you don't vote, your opinion will not be heard nor counted. Many people think that one vote does not count, but if everyone followed that mentality there would be no votes cast and what would happen to a government run by the people if they people did not care to run it? Every freedom there is could be taken away because of the apathy.
