Fascism Rises In Europe - Coggle Diagram

- - - - The Nazi party assembled a militia called the "Storm Troopers"
        
        The Nazis chose Hitler to be der Führer (The Leader) of the Nazi party due to his strong public speaking and organizing skills
        
        Hitler and the Nazis attempted to seize power in Munich in 1923, but the attempt failed and Hitler was arrested. He was tried for treason, but the sentence was only five years in prison, of which he served less than nine months.
        
        While in jail, Hitler wrote Mein Kampf, which outlined his beliefs and goals for Germany. He claimed that Germans, who he referred to as "Aryans," were a superior race, and that non-Aryan "races," including Jews, Slavs, and Gypsies, were inferior. He also criticized the Versailles Treaty and vowed to regain German lands.
        
        After being released from prison in 1924, Hitler revived the Nazi Party, but most Germans ignored him until the Great Depression. The Depression helped Hitler's cause, as the German people were desperate for a strong leader who could improve their lives.
        
        When American loans stopped, the economy collapsed, and civil unrest broke out. Germans turned to Hitler, hoping for security and firm leadership. Hitler promised to get more living space through imperialism by rebuilding Germany's military and conquering Eastern Europe and Russia.
