Hitler's actions, strategies, and promises that lead to increased support.
THESIS: Hitler came to power in such a short period of time because of his nationalist ideologies which resonated with the angered Germans, German society's opposition to the Weimar Republic because of the problems it caused, and the strong use of propaganda by the Nazi Party.
HISTORICAL DEBATE: That Nazism was an emotional response to a crisis because disoriented Germans who were hit by economic and political crisis saw Hitler a strong leader who would save Germany, "totalitarian temptation". Some historians disagree with this view because they believe that Nazism gained support from rational calculation and not as a form of psychological fix.
ANOTHER HISTORICAL DEBATE: Some historians argue that mass support was more important that the elites helping Hitler get to power and that Hitler reflected a deep feeling in a weak Germany and did not just gain power from a capitalist stooge.
DEBATE I CHOSE AND WHY: I chose the debate that the problems that existed in Germany increased the people's desire for a strong leader, and Hitler was able to gain mass support from all kinds of people because he reflected the feelings of the German people. With his confidence, he convinced many people that he would bring Germany back to power. I chose this debate because I believe there are so many events that brought down Germany and disappointed a lot of Germans which in turn resulted in them blaming and hating the Weimar Republic for causing most of Germnay's problems. On the other hand, Hitler and the Nazi Party were becoming stronger because of their strategies and promises made to the people. People were hopeful about Hitler and the Nazi Party saving Germany.
