The Role Of The Treaty Of Versailles, The Nazi Campaign Election And Wall Street Crash In Hitler’s Rise To Power

“We must shut down union offices, take their money and jail their leaders. We must cut workers’ salaries, and eliminate their right for strike.” Hitler.

Hitler is well-known for his achievements after entering the parliament. Hitler is remembered as the strongest person to ever be a member of parliament. He was a huge army man and a well-known name, which helped him to become Chancellor of Germany. He had to overcome some obstacles before he could be elected chancellor. One was the huge fall of his party. This was not a popular movement in Germany. The treaty was used by the government’s enemies to claim it had’stabbed Germany in its back’ by ending World War II. Their territory was taken by Germany, resulting in a loss of agricultural and industrial income. Germany and its allies were accused by the War Guilt Clause of starting the war. This led people to feel humiliated and angry. Germany was forced to pay PS6.6 billion of reparations. Germany’s armed troops were drastically reduced. The failure of World War One was linked to the Weimar Government, as it had signed Treaty of Versailles. Many nationalists felt that the government had sold Germany to the enemy by ending the war too quickly. The Allies signed the treaty in January 1919. There was almost no German involvement. Negotiations revealed a split between the Americans, British, and French who didn’t want to participate in fake excuses for a new Year, and the French who wanted to dismember Germany. The 15-part treaty was divided into 440 articles. The treaty was signed by the German government, but it was reportedly rescinded. “Right-wing German Parties attacked it as betrayal, while terrorists assassinated some politicians whom they considered guilty.” The U.S Senate refused to approve the treaty. The Weimar Republic was confused by the treaty, but Welmar continued to exist until the 1930s. The Treaty was a key area that led to Adolf Hitler’s rise, as has been argued and stated. Hitler claimed that Hitler was being stabbed in their backs during the 1920s. Hitler would have never been able to hold the position and authority if the surrender terms were not in place. This is despite the devastating economic depression that hit the world in 1920, including Germany. Hitler promised a solution, and the people became disillusioned. Versailles may also have been responsible for Germany’s current economic difficulties.

Combine this with the military’s actions and it gave Hitler plenty of material from which to win support for his right. The Treaty also led to a rebuilding process of Germany’s economy based on U.S. loan. This was in response to a key point from Versailles. This left the country vulnerable to the devastation that followed the Great Depression.

Hitler was proud of his rise after the Wall Street collapse. The Wall Street crash of 1929 caused a massive economic collapse in Germany, leaving many people broke and homeless. The Wall Street Crash occurred in October 1929. It was during the global economic depression caused by the collapse of the United State’s stock market. Germany was the worst affected. As major investors in shares, banks suffered enormous losses. Some banks ran out cash because people were eager to get their money. German companies dependent on American loans were forced to reduce or stop operations. This caused a drop in industrial output and increased unemployment. The same happened to companies selling at home and abroad. The worldwide depression was devastating for export industries but also caused a drop in domestic demand (domestic expenditure fell). Domestic industries were not spared from the Great Depression. Over time, the unemployment rate climbed further. The middle class lost their savings, their businesses and even their homes. In a deal between the USA and Germany, the US would loan money to Germany to help Germany get on its feet again after the Treaty of Versaille. The Wall Street crisis left the US without any money. They demanded that Germany return the money it had borrowed to Germany. Hitler, desperate to be of assistance, took control and tried to get the attention of Germany’s people. Hitler became chancellor because of depression caused by Wall Street’s crash.

When Hitler became chancellor, the Reichstag was experiencing a series of unfavorable periods. These included severe economic problems. This led to Germany’s people losing faith in its own parliament. The reason for this was that the German people didn’t see any improvement in their circumstances. Hitler gained the attention he needed during this period, thanks to the Reichstag’s problems. The Nazi Party won 37% of the total vote in 1932 elections, which was a significant victory. The party was the largest in the Reichstag. But it was Franz von Papen along with other conservatives that convinced Field Marshal von Hindenburg, the German president to appoint Hitler the chancellor in a government coalition. He was the country’s most powerful politician, but he was also a demagogue without any experience in government. They believed they could bring Hitler under control and that an alliance with Nazis would give them the support they needed at the Reichstag.

In conclusion, the Treaty of Versailles was one of the most important events that helped Hitler’s name to be known and heard by Germans. The people of Germany were in desperate need of a new Parliament and sought out better guidance from the government. They sought a new parliament that would address real problems and not hide them. They also wanted a leader who would stand up for their country and improve the situation than what the Weimar government had done.
