Hitler’s Rise to Power: Germany, the Nazis and Dictatorship

After World War I, Germany was shaken by defeat, inflation, and political chaos, creating the conditions that helped Adolf Hitler rise to power. Born in Austria in 1889, he wanted to be an artist, but rejection from art school in Vienna pushed him toward a new worldview shaped by extreme nationalism. He later moved to Germany, fought in World War I, and came to believe that Jews and communists were responsible for the country’s collapse.

Working as an army spy, Hitler joined a small political group and quickly became its leader thanks to his speaking skills. After a failed coup and a prison sentence, he used that time to write a book and prepare for a comeback. When the Great Depression hit, unemployment surged and the Nazis gained support. Hitler became Chancellor, then combined power after Hindenburg died, using the Enabling Act to become a dictator and prepare Germany for war.
