Fear of communism

Fear Of Communism:

Communism was feared in Germany as businessman and farmers have heard about how the Russian Government takes over the people's private businesses and losing all their private assets to the Government and farmer's land and corps were also taken by the Government as well. They also heard that lives of these unfortunate people are taken along with their property thus adding more fear to the people. Afraid of being Poor, not being able to care for their family and dying as well.

Another Anti-Communism Propaganda.

How it helped Hitler came into power:

Hitler used the people’s fears by giving them fake promises that brings better businesses and farming for the people. Since the people of Germany have heard of the confiscation of land and businesses, killing and imprisonment of the owners of the land and businessmen suffers when big businesses gets taken over by the state, they are very afraid of the communist party in Germany. Hitler saw this as an opportunity to gain supporters  with the help from Alfred Hugenberg promoting the Nazis using his newspapers and making propaganda flims for the Nazis, August Thyssen funded the Nazis finances that allowed them to have a personal army to attack the communists that fought the police and break up their private meetings in 1930s.This made Germany believe that she needs the Nazis to bring order back. The Nazis also promise to help the unemployed and groups that suffered from economic losses in 1930s.

Political Weakness of Weimar Government

Political Weakness of Weimar Government 

People showed their unhappiness with multiple revolts that added to the instability of Germany.The Government had no choice but to crush them using unemployed soldiers returning from the war. Germany was finding it difficult to pay reparations. Germany was late on several reparation payments as well. As a result France invaded the Ruhr Valley, Germany's industrial heart, to get the coal that was due as reparations. As the French occupied the Ruhr Valley, humiliating the Germans. The workers in Ruhr valley want on strike with the support of the Government. To show their support, the Government printed more money to pay wages to the workers. This only further exacerbated the hyper-inflation.

How did this help Hitler in his rise to power?

Hitler's rise to power was based upon long-term factors - resentment in the German people, the weakness of the Weimar system - which he exploited through propaganda , the terror of his stormtroopers, and the brilliance of his speeches.

Economic Weakness of Weimar Republic

• Weimar Germany weakness is their uneven balance of economic growth and their ongoing economic problems. After World War 1 the Weimar Republic was inherited with the, enormous cost of the First World War followed by the burden of post-war reconstruction. Germany was held responsible for all losses and damages suffered by the Allies. This led to the inflation crisis of 1923. Another problem with Germany's economy was that the value of imports always exceeded that of exports. Germany's prosperity remained unsound. It was based too much on foreign credit. The stock market crash in 1929 plunged the whole world into a severe depression. These show how Germany's economy a was based on exports and foreign credit, so when the market crashed in 1929 the whole world fell into depression, including Germany.

So how did Hitler rise to the power?

Hitler was a great speaker who could convince many people into him. During the inflation, people turned to the Communists and Nazis which the Nazis help attacked the opponent of Hitler as they thought Hitler could control them as he had power. Hence, this causes Hitler to gain trust among the people which helped him rise to power.

The Great Depression:(

·      The Great Depression was a severe worldwide economic depression sparked by the stock market crash of 1929 in the New York Stock Exchange. The Great Depression affected almost every country. However, it affected Germany more as Germany was dependent on loans and investments from the USA. When the USA suddenly asked the Loans and deposits back from Germany Banks, it suffered an economic crisis which turned into a social crisis. Factories were closed down which lead to millions of people losing their jobs. By 1932, six million people or one-third of the country were employed the Governments had to make cuts to social service. Poverty, homelessness and even starvation were a common place.

People were so poor that they could not provide food and shelter for themselves. Therefore had no choice but to sell their own children because they did not have money to take care of their children and themselves.

Men roamed around the streets in desperate to find a job and slept in the roads. If they did not find a job they would not be able to survive because they would not have money to buy food or have a shelter. Therefore many were desperate to find a job.

How did this help Hitler to rise to power?

 

Hitler took advantage of the circumstances and promised everyone to give them their jobs. The desperation of needing a job lead people to believe Hitler and Hitler gained control. Hitler then created opportunities such as making guns for war. This lead to the National Socialists, Hitler’s party, to gain about 122 seats on Reichstag’s. Therefore, this lead Hitler to rise to power.
