Fascism's Rises in Europe
Hitler becomes Chancellor
By 1932, the Nazis had become the largest political party in Germany.
Conservative leaders believed that they could control Hitler and urged President Hindenburg to make Hitler chancellor which would officially give him power.
Upon his rise to office he called for new elections in an attempt to gain a parliamentary majority. Six days before the election, the parliamentary building, the Reichstag, was burned down. The Communist were blamed allowing the Nazis to gain a slight majority in parliment.

Hitler then put millions of Germans to work, constructing factories, building infrastructure, manufacturing guns, and serving in the military.
This is an example of industrialization as Hitler increased the industrial capabilities of Germany tremendously.
Seeking to gain more control over the German people's lives Hitler went about turning every new source, and media outlet into propaganda machines.
Books that didn't conform to Nazi beliefs were burned, churches forbidden from speaking against the Nazis and children forced to join the Hitler Youth or the League of German Girls.
A key component of the Nazi ideology which they used to help escape blame was anti-Semitism. This belief held that Jews were inferior to all and were the cause of all of Germany's problems.
In 1933, Hitler signed laws depriving Jews of most of their rights, which lead to an increase of violence towards Jews. On November 9, 1938, mobs attacked Jewish homes, businesses, and on the streets.
