- crazy high levels of inflation, poverty, hunger, German people suffering
- 1929 Wall street Crash . made people desperate
- When Hitler came and claimed he could solve it, people were so desperate they listened
This is where Nazi votes increase after 1929 - government had survived up until 1929 wall street crash - made people desperate - comes back to looking for someone to blame]]> 2016-08-24 23:43:18 UTC https://padlet.com/rileighfields2012/t7ozlfbr5ols/wish/119718180 rileighfields2012 https://padlet.com/rileighfields2012/t7ozlfbr5ols/wish/119718209 - Enabling act of 1933 - restricted stuff, claimed to be the 'Law to remedy the distress of people and the reich'
- affected people because it began the first steps of his nationalist socialist revolution
- took emergency powers: freedom of the press / freedom of speed etc
- There was no legal was to replace him to by being chancellor he could easily establish dictatorship
- opponents were divided, demoralised and weekends even using violence by the SA (who murder an estimated 500 people opposing his party) - by the end of 1933 over 100, 000 potential opponents were arrested. 
- He made sure the government had control of all aspects of society
- Hitler developed against actions e.g hitler youth, 
- Changed school curriculum to teach anti semitism (sole purpose was to ensure nazi loyalty in children and made sure the next generation was the ideal german child.]]> 2016-08-24 23:43:43 UTC https://padlet.com/rileighfields2012/t7ozlfbr5ols/wish/119718209 https://padlet.com/rileighfields2012/t7ozlfbr5ols/wish/119718608 - Germany was already weak after the war, and the treaty made the government seem weak as it was unrealistic/unachievable...
Hitler by contrast was strong and confident, which is what Germans wanted.
- Overall Weimar Regime seemed weak and ineffective, blamed for loss of war, and blamed for the effects the treaty brought to Germany.
- Made people be more supportive of any leader that could be strong and regain Germany's prior power and strength
- Made worse by economic conditions, unrealistic expectations of Treaty basically condemned the Government and made people want this new strong leader/government.]]> 2016-08-24 23:48:16 UTC https://padlet.com/rileighfields2012/t7ozlfbr5ols/wish/119718608 rileighfields2012 https://padlet.com/rileighfields2012/t7ozlfbr5ols/wish/119718796 - Long history of Anti semitism in Germany, dating real far back
- This casual hatred of Jews is something German were raised upon
- Hitler used this long history and constantly used the term 'Jewish Conspiracy' which allowed an already hated group of people to be blamed for the loss of WW1
- People in their desperate state looking for someone to blame , hitler was able to use this and play on emotions of Germany people --> he offered someone to blame and was able to gain support on this basis.

Because of cause #1 and #2, people were in a position where Hitler could play on this anti-semitism. People were looking for someone to blame - got votes as hitler used a group of people germans already hated.

- youth tended to support because it was exciting and purposeful, they were taught it at school etc (page 29)
- Women: probably already oppressed hitler made their job seem purposeful and amazing, romanticised that their job was to serve men, women would have felt loved and important
- Economy : created new jobs, tried to stimulate consumer demean, tax concessions and spread grants stimulated demand, boosted confidence - however on the flip side, some groups couldn't apply for economic recover, e.g. agriculture workers , took young men off employment register and people from 18-25 had to join the military for two years

- special uni created to kill disabled children
- homosexuals : their behaviour was deeply offended Nazi's - about 10,000-15,000 homosexuals arrested and sent to camps - forced to wear pink triangles - some were experimented on to cure unnatural feelings , lesbians were not seen as a threat to the nation.
- Gypsies: as a small group of about 30,000 in germany gypsies were not a major threat provided they did not contaminate the German blood pool - However in 1939 they were sen to camps after decree for 'the struggle against the gypsie plague' - 20,000 gypsies in Auschwitz were based - overall bout half a million gypsies were killed across Europe. ]]> 2016-09-06 22:12:20 UTC https://padlet.com/rileighfields2012/t7ozlfbr5ols/wish/121961278
