This allowed Hitler to use the Article in his rise of power without needing Germany's Parliament. Allowing him to become a dictator without any consequences. ]]> 2023-08-14 14:05:06 UTC https://padlet.com/yfarias24/84xs46kh6xuoiz1l/wish/2661526138 yfarias24 https://padlet.com/yfarias24/84xs46kh6xuoiz1l/wish/2661539358 The hyperinflation in Germany was caused by the Weimar government due to the fact that they were printing banknotes to pay Ruhur workers that were on strike because France had hold on Germany's Ruhr area. The continuous printing eventually led to Germany's marks being worth 4.2 trillion to one US dollar, causing Germany to have hyperinflation. The lack of economic control from the Weimar Republic led to a rise of support for authoritarian and totalitarian governments from German citizens. Allowing for Hitler's and Naazi ideology to become favorable to the middle class. ]]> 2023-08-14 14:21:22 UTC https://padlet.com/yfarias24/84xs46kh6xuoiz1l/wish/2661539358 yfarias24 https://padlet.com/yfarias24/84xs46kh6xuoiz1l/wish/2661847115  The Munich Putsch also known as Beer Hall Putsch was a failed organized coup to overthrow the German government . This coup was lead by Nazi Party leader Adolf Hitler,  Erich Ludendorff and other Kampfbund leaders. The Coup lasted two days and resulted in Hitler and many other Nazi members to be arrested. While this was a failed attempt to overthrow the government, it showed Germany how powerful and willful the Nazi party was already.

During those five months, Hitler was treated very nicely in prison, as if he was a celebrity. In addition to living a pleasant life in prison, Hitler wrote  Mein Kampf, his own autobiographical. In this book Hitler expressed openly his ideologies including his conversion to  anti-antisemitism. Hitler also wrote about how great of a leader he is and the future of Germany if he were a leader.  Mein Kampf gave Hitler more status as an individual and allowed some regular German citizens to relate to him and his ideologies. Gaining the Nazi party more popularity. ]]> 2023-08-15 13:59:08 UTC https://padlet.com/yfarias24/84xs46kh6xuoiz1l/wish/2662443778 yfarias24 https://padlet.com/yfarias24/84xs46kh6xuoiz1l/wish/2662445692 Mein Kampf is an autobiography of Hitler's life and his goals written during the time of his imprisonment.

Because of Article 48, Hindenburg would occasionally give himself authoritarian power just to be able not to deal with German politics. This creates instability and chaos in Germany's government. Because of Hindenburg's inability to be a proper leader, German citizens began to long for a stable government with a strong leader that does create chaos. This allowed for Hitler and his ideologies to become more ideal to local Germans. ]]> 2023-08-15 14:12:54 UTC https://padlet.com/yfarias24/84xs46kh6xuoiz1l/wish/2662455769 yfarias24 https://padlet.com/yfarias24/84xs46kh6xuoiz1l/wish/2662463713 The Reichstag election of 1932 was a prominent election because the results of the election showed that the Nazi Party received 37% of the vote, more than any other party that election. Due to this, Hitler demanded that he become chancellor, but Hindenburg disagreed. Hindenburg offered Hitler Vice chancellor, but Hitler said no. After Hindenburg released to the public the offer he made to Hitler, Hitler withdrew his party's support. After another round of election Hindenburg made Kurt von Schleicher chancellor. However, Kurt could not create a successful government. With advice from Hindenburg's aides saying that making Hitler chancellor would ensure support of the Nazi party and a stable government, and thus Hindenburg made Hitler chancellor. With Hitler now as chancellor, the Nazi Party has clear majority in German parliament, giving the Nazi party and Hitler with almost ultimate power as chancellor. ]]> 2023-08-15 14:21:38 UTC https://padlet.com/yfarias24/84xs46kh6xuoiz1l/wish/2662463713 yfarias24 https://padlet.com/yfarias24/84xs46kh6xuoiz1l/wish/2662477530 On February 1933, the German Parliament building burned down. With origins of how the fire started being unclear, Hitler and the Nazi party put blame on communists who were planning to create a violent uprising to derail Germany's national renewal. This narrative was created to persuade President Hindenburg in order to convince him that emergency legislation (aka Reichstag Fire Decree) needed to pass in order to protect the people and state of Germany. Putting permanent suspension of civil rights including right to assembly, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, etc. This gave the Nazi Party ultimate power in Germany, eliminating any opposition. Allowing for their party to continue to grow and become more powerful with Hitler as their leader. ]]> 2023-08-15 14:37:22 UTC https://padlet.com/yfarias24/84xs46kh6xuoiz1l/wish/2662477530 yfarias24 https://padlet.com/yfarias24/84xs46kh6xuoiz1l/wish/2662487874 The Enabling act was passed on March of 1933 through the majority of votes coming from the Nazi party after the Nazi part and Hitler used intimation and persecution to keep the communists and social democrats from taking their seat. The Nazi party even detained some of them in Nazi controlled camps. The Enabling Act included have 5 articles, all of which gave Hitler the ability to enact laws, especially ones that violated the Weimar Constitution, without even having the approval of the German government nor President Von Hindenburg.

However, when the US entered the Great depression, the aid that they were providing Germany stopped and it impacted Germany economically, politically, and socially. A third of the Germans were unemployed. Many Germans were Anti-Parliament because it appeared as though the Germans parliament was unfit to deal with Germany's Great depression that ruined Germany's "Gilded Years." This led to many Germans being more favorable to extreme political systems. The Nazi Party gained a lot of popularity during this Great Depression because they blamed the Jews in Germany and states that they would provide stability in times of economic distress. ]]> 2023-08-15 14:51:43 UTC https://padlet.com/yfarias24/84xs46kh6xuoiz1l/wish/2662493176 yfarias24 https://padlet.com/yfarias24/84xs46kh6xuoiz1l/wish/2662493501 The Treaty of Versailles was a treaty that held Germany accountable for the actions that they did when they started world war one. The agreements on the treaty were that Germany had to lose all of their overseas colonies, territory as well, pay financial reparations, and disarm their military. Many Germans felt as though they were stabbed in the back and were made to look like cowards for giving up in world war one. This led to a lot of resentment towards the German government because German citizens felt humiliated. The resentment for the government allowed for the creation of other political parties that had different political ideologies like the Nazi party. ]]> 2023-08-15 14:52:07 UTC https://padlet.com/yfarias24/84xs46kh6xuoiz1l/wish/2662493501 yfarias24 https://padlet.com/yfarias24/84xs46kh6xuoiz1l/wish/2662493780 The enabling act was a piece of constitution amendment written by Hitler's Cabinet(the Nazi Party) that allowed Hitler to make new laws without the President of German Parliament's approval over the span of four years. The purpose of this amendment was to make Hitler's transition into dictatorship over germany much smoother, without any opposition, and especially legal. This act was valuable in that it demonstrated how methodical Hitler was and the level of detail that was included into the act to lay the foundation for Hitler's totalitarian regime over Germany. A limitation of this document was that it was not in the better interest of the German government nor its citizens. It was only created forr the better interest of the Nazi Party in order to complete their goal of a totalitarian regime. ]]> 2023-08-15 14:52:29 UTC https://padlet.com/yfarias24/84xs46kh6xuoiz1l/wish/2662493780 yfarias24 https://padlet.com/yfarias24/84xs46kh6xuoiz1l/wish/2662774331 This is an election poster for the presidential election of 1932 campaign for Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party. The political poster was created by Hans Schweitzer who was an artist that created political propaganda for the Nazi party. The poster showcases a crowd of sad and poor men, women, and children with the words above them saying in english "Our Last Hope" and below them "Hitler." The purpose of this poster was to promote the Nazi party during the 1932 election and let Germans know that the Nazi party cares about them and the only way to themselves is vote for Hitler as President. This poster demonstrates how the Nazi party used art to relate to the German people and bring them closer to Nazi ideology, saving them.  This poster is also valuable in that it shows one of the many strategies like appeasing to german sentiment and feeling about their county and how   the Nazi party to was able to use those feeling of anger to draw more people into their ideologies especially those who were in the lower class. A limitation of this poster is that it presents Hitler as the last hope for the Germans and that they can trust non ones except Hitler because he is the only one that sympathizes with the Germans and lower class. ]]> 2023-08-15 21:14:13 UTC https://padlet.com/yfarias24/84xs46kh6xuoiz1l/wish/2662774331
