History 101:
Why did Hitler become chancellor in January 1933? Part 1
This is the first of many of histories "Big questions" and we're answering it right here, right now on History 101:
One reason why Hitler became chancellor in January 1933 was down to the Nazi parties brilliant organisational skills. Firstly the Nazis instrumented many parades, marches and most notably Hitlers' speeches. These events were always brandished with Nazi propaganda and flags. The audience were always bulked out by the SA to make it seem like there were lots of supporters. Organisation in the Nazi party didn't only create a strong image of Hitler through events but also in their propaganda. Joseph Goebbels, The Nazi propagandist, always depicted Hitler as a strong leader and his enemies ( mainly SDP and communists) as weak and chaotic. These factors contributed to the Nazi parties bid for power and generally made the Nazi party more popular.
another reason that Hitler became chancellor in 1933 was due to Hitlers' speeches. His skills as a speaker helped persuade thousands of people to vote for him by using the clear but very effective messages like 'Arbeit und brot' which translates as work and bread. The depression in the early 1930s, which was caused by the wall street crash in 1929, helped Hitler tremendously. Now in his speeches Hitler could use these simple messages through his rhetoric with even more reason and stature due to the now failing and jeopardised Weimar government.
Hitler could also claim to end the chaos in Germany because behind the scenes the SA were causing havoc which made many civilians uneasy and , in turn, made them vote for the Nazis through such fear of getting attacked by the SA. However thats not the only thing the SA were doing in Germany at the time. The private army also attacked communists and members of the SDP which deterred them from attending meetings or even voting for a left wing party. The Weimar government failed to see the SA as a threat and even saw them as a joke! Maybe if the Weimar had cracked down on violence from radicals it could have stopped the SA and maybe the Nazis in their tracks.
Thats Part 1 folks thanks for reading! Next time we will be exploring how the Weimar itself contributed to Hitlers rise to power in part 2!
