Withdrawing from the fog of defeat, Germany was in despair, the people were disillusioned and the glory that once burnt brilliantly was stifled. Many governments came and went, not being able to grasp the problems inherent to German life, therefore not being able to eliminate the difficulties involved. What the people needed was a leader, a person who could spur them onto greatness. Such a person emerged in the time where Germany was in need, that person was Adolf Hitler.
The rut Germany had fallen in was extremely deep and complicated. Germany had been stumbling around in the dark for years after the Armistice was signed in November 1918. The Treaty of Versailles brought about problems such as Hyperinflation, which brought the people to their knees, in search of relief. The Weimar republic came into power during 1922-23, and solved minor problems concerning economy, freedom and also weathered a Bolshevik insurgence.
This small bout of relief was short lived, and the people were still left hopeless.
When all was seemed to be out of control, a messiah came. Someone who could relieve the strain of the depression the nation had slumped into. Adolf Hitler rose to power in the 1933, backing the Nazi party, claiming dictatorship of the ravaged country. He was zealous for glory, and was extremely passionate about what he wanted for his country. This charisma made him an extremely influential leader; he swayed the masses into embracing his ideologies and beliefs. So powerful he became, that he convinced the country they were the "chosen race", encouraging them to dispatch all those who opposed their quest for the ultimate prize of glory.
Since Hitler was such a charismatic orator, his public speaking skills were nothing short of remarkable. The quest for glory he and his Nazi Germany...
Hitler.
Dont get me wrong, this essay is good, im sure it scored you decently aswell, just a few things;
At the beginning, you should mention that governments came and went because the Weimar Republic was weak and could not give a majority to any one political party, this ment that Hitler could pose as the strongest and in time (over elections) could gain the majority and have the NAZI party in power.
Also, you have to mention the people in his regime (Himler, Goebells ect) especially Goebells, as the NAZI's would have never come to power without the propaganda that he was producing. Propaganda was possibly the single most obvious reason the NAZI's came to power.
Also mention how he got his Dictatorship because of the special laws he gained after the major fire, these gave him the power to basicly dictate his words and put them into power without having to run them past anyone else. There is also a very interesting conspiracy about the happenings that you should research.
One last point, although it may be out of context, perhaps giving a brief history of how Hitler came to politics (After his time in WW1, how he lead the beer hall putsch, why he made scapegoats etc)
Aside from all that ive said its a good essay, nothing majorly wrong and the facts you have are correct, just some fine tuning needed. I dont mean to "dictate" (as it were) to you, just help!
Thank you!
