Since the suicide of Adolf Hitler has been almost 70 years.However, its colorful political figure still is of interest to historians wishing to understand how a modest young artist with no academic education could enter the German nation into a state of mass psychosis and become the initiator and ideologist of the bloodiest crimes in world history.So what were the reasons for Hitler's rise to power, how this process and what preceded this event?Home
political biography
future Führer of the German nation was born in 1889.The beginning of his political career can be considered in 1919, when Hitler was discharged from the army and joined the German Workers Party.Within six months during a party meeting, he proposed to rename the organization of the Nazi Party and declared his political program consisting of 25 points.His ideas were echoed the inhabitants of Munich.It is not surprising that at the end of the first Party Congress, held in 1923, the city held a march stormtroopers, which was attended by more than 5,000 people.Thus began the story of the rise of Hitler.
NSDAP activities in the period from 1923 to 1933
next significant event in the history of the National Socialists was the so-called Beer Hall Putsch, during which three thousand colones stormtroopers led by Hitler tried to seize the building of the Ministry of Defence.They were pushed back riot police, and the leaders of the riots were tried.In particular, Hitler was sentenced to five years in prison.However, he has been in prison for a few months and pay a fine of 200 gold marks.Once free, Hitler developed a violent political activities.Thanks to his efforts in the elections of 1930, and then in 1932 his party received a larger number of seats in parliament, becoming a significant political force.Thus it was created the political conditions that make it possible to Hitler's rise to power.Germany at that time was in the grip of the crisis that broke out in Europe in 1929.
Economic reasons Hitler came to power
As historians believe, a greater role in the political successes of the Nazi Party played the Great Depression, which lasted about 10 years.It is very painful to hit the industry in Germany and created a 7.5-million-strong army of the unemployed.Suffice it to say, that took place in 1931 miners strike Ruhr city, attended nearly 350 000 workers.In such conditions, the role of the Communist Party of Germany, which has aroused the concern of the financial elite and big industrialists, who have relied on the Nazi Party as the only force capable of resisting the Communists.
appointment as head of the cabinet
In early 1933, President Hindenburg received a large bribe from the German magnates who demanded his appointment as head of the Nazi Party Chancellor.The old soldier, who has lived a life saving every pfennig, could not resist, and January 30, Hitler had won one of the major stations in Germany.In addition, there were rumors that there was a blackmail related to financial fraud son Hindenburg.But the appointment as head of the cabinet did not mean Hitler came to power, because the laws could only take the Reichstag, and at the time, the National Socialists did not have the required number of seats.
massacre of the Communists and the Night of the Long Knives
After just a few weeks after the appointment of Hitler, there was the burning of the Reichstag building.As a result, the Communist Party has been accused of preparing to seize power in the country, and President Hindenburg signed a decree to confer extraordinary powers of the cabinet.
given carte blanche, Hitler ordered the arrest of about 4,000 activists of the Communist Party and has made ads for new elections to the Reichstag, in which almost 44% of the votes went to his party.Another force that could hinder Hitler's rise to power, there were storm troopers, led by Ernst Röhm.To counteract this organization and the Nazis ransacked, later known as the "Night of the Long Knives."Victims of mass killings have become almost a thousand people, including most of the leaders of the SA.
referendum
August 2, 1934, President Hindenburg died.This event accelerated the rise of Hitler, as he managed to replace early elections referendum.During the meeting August 19, 1934 voters were asked to answer only one question, which sounded as follows: "Do you agree that the posts of president and chancellor were united?" After counting the votes it turned out that the majority of voters were in favor of the proposed reform of state power.As a result, the presidency was abolished.
Fuehrer and Reich Chancellor
According to most researchers, the year Hitler came to power - 1934. In fact, after the referendum on 19 August, he became not only the head of the cabinet, but also the supreme commander, who personally had to swear allegiance to the army.Moreover, it is the first time in the history of the country he was awarded the title of Führer and Reich Chancellor.At the same time, some historians believe that when one considers the rise to power of Hitler, the date of 30 January 1933 is more important as it ever since he and his party could have a significant impact on domestic and foreign policy of Germany.Be that as it may, in Europe there was a dictator, the actions of which were destroyed, millions of people on three continents.
