History AssignmentHitler came to power in 1933 as the result of a complex series of factors. He was the right man at the right time to take advantage of the problems that arose in Germany in the post-war years. In the post-war years, from the 1920s to the 1930s, the German people had many grievances. The biggest of which was the economy. During the hyperinflation of the early 1920s, in January 1921 the Deutsche Mark was worth 65 marks to a US dollar and by November 1923 it was worth 4,200,000,000,000 to a US dollar. In the space of 12 weeks the German currency lost 99.3% of its value. This meant that the price of the eggs amounted to 80 billion marks each. Hyperinflation caused 90% of people's savings to be destroyed. Germany had no faith in democracy. The reason was the corruption and mismanagement that characterized the Weimar Republic (inflation). The Democrats were reasonable, well-intentioned men, representing the inflation-impoverished middle and business classes. They relied on chronic credit inflation (which put them deeper and deeper into debt). The Germans were also shocked by the loss of World War I, but what made them craziest was the punishment imposed on them as a result of the Treaty. of Versailles. Such as the redistribution of territory, the reduction of Germany's fighting power and the imposition of harsh conditions, which meant that Germany had to pay 6600 million pounds to the Allies in 1921. Germany thought that the punishment was too harsh. crushed by the problems they had, especially the Treaty of Versailles, which left Germany in debt. Hyperinflation left many people unemployed. People were looking for answers and someone to blame Hitler offered the simple answer to Germany's problems. The skills that Hitler had were that he was a manipulator and he could fool people into believing his opinions, which they did in a way that left him with advantages As I said, Hitler was a manipulator. The people believed what he said and those who didn't were killed. The ideas he had (quote SOSE textbook page 57) "to be a strong nation, Germany had to have a strong leader, the struggle was the basis of history and the struggle was between different races and the main struggle for Germany , was with the Jews" race.
