HOW THE NAZIS CAME TO POWER!!

It all began in September 1919 when them man we all know as Hitler joined the Deutsche Arbeiterpartei Party (DAP for short, which would soon become the Nazi Party). This government was formed shortly after World War I. Keep in mind the Germans had basically been kicked in the butt after the war and had been blamed for everything. This party was anti-Marxist and opposed to the democratic government that was set in store for the Germans after the war, formed by the Treaty of Versailles. It was extremely nationalistic, Pan-Germanistic (as in Germany #1!) and surprise surprise, anti-semitic (anti-Jewish). This party appealed to many Germans because they felt they had been blamed for everything and used as a scapegoat after the war. So naturally, they had to blame their problems on others--the Jewish. This was their chance to rise to power again and show the world how powerful the real Germany was.

But how did one man become SOOOOOO influential and powerful? Well, Mr. Hitler was quite the public speaker. His speeches were so powerful and passionate with inflection and volume in just the right places with the perfect usage of words. He later wrote his book Mein Kampf (My Struggle) in prison which reflected his political and personal philosphies. It basically attacked the Jews and blamed them for all of the problems he and his nations were facing. He had been under captivity because he had led the Beer Hall Putsch, an attempted coup d'état (struggle for power). This would gain him more attention and widespread influence. Eventually with Hitler's powerful stance and the appeal of a Pan-Germanistic party, the Nazi Party rose to power as the primary government, and well, we know what happened after that...
