Nationalism was a key factor that contributed to the rise of Hitler and World War 2 according to the document. It summarizes how German nationalism grew from the economic struggles following WWI and the Great Depression. This nationalism empowered Hitler and made the German people feel united against enemies both internal and external. Hitler exploited German nationalism to consolidate his power and implement increasingly oppressive policies against Jews and other groups. By the late 1930s, German ultra-nationalism had helped transform Germany into a militarized state that defied the Treaty of Versailles and began aggressive expansionism across Europe.
Nationalism played a key role in Hitler's rise to power in Germany and the start of WWII. The Great Depression led to the collapse of the German government, allowing Hitler and the Nazis to gain control. Through propaganda, the Nazis promoted German nationalism, which increased their support among voters. With Hitler as Chancellor and then Fuhrer, he strengthened German nationalism and anti-Semitism through laws discriminating against Jews. Germany's increasing nationalism empowered Hitler to invade countries and disregard opposition to his policies within Germany.
Nationalism was a major cause of World War 2 according to the document. It summarizes key events between 1929-1939 in Germany that show the rise of nationalism and Hitler's exploitation of it to gain power. Hitler inflamed German nationalism by blaming other countries and minorities for their economic struggles. He presented the Nazi party as the solution and promised to restore Germany's power by expanding its borders and establishing Aryan supremacy. As nationalism grew, the German people willingly supported Hitler's consolidation of power and militaristic actions, culminating in the invasion of Poland and start of World War 2.
The document discusses how rising German nationalism following World War 1 and the 1929 Wall Street Crash contributed to the rise of the Nazi party and Adolf Hitler's assumption of power in Germany. It notes several key events: (1) Hitler received 30% of the presidential vote in 1932, showing high nationalist support; (2) the Night of Broken Glass in 1938 saw Germans attack their Jewish neighbors, indicating willingness to enact Hitler's radical nationalism; (3) Hitler's remilitarization of the Rhineland in 1936 showed his confidence in nationalistic public support. Rising German nationalism following World War 1 and economic troubles strengthened radical nationalist groups like the Nazis and enabled Hitler's rise to power.
Hitler steadily gained support among Germans throughout the 1930s by positioning himself as a strong leader who could restore Germany's economy and standing in the world after its defeat in WWI. He used the Nazi party and propaganda to spread nationalist ideology and consolidate power. Key events included strong showings for the Nazis in the 1930 election, Hitler becoming Chancellor in 1933, and passing the Enabling Act granting him dictatorial powers. By hosting the 1936 Olympics and remilitarizing Germany in violation of treaties, he showed Germany's renewed strength, further boosting support for his expansionist agenda that ultimately led to the invasion of Poland and outbreak of WWII.
The document discusses Nazi Germany's economic policies and decision-making between 1933-1939. It describes how Hitler initially prioritized economic recovery to strengthen the regime, led by Schacht's New Plan focusing on investment and reducing unemployment. From 1936, the focus shifted to autarky and rearmament with Göring's Four Year Plan, aiming for self-sufficiency to sustain war. However, the policies were inconsistent and failed to make Germany fully prepared for war by 1939 due to contradictory goals and power struggles between economic leaders.
The Nazi Party gained popularity in Germany after World War 1 due to feelings of humiliation from the Treaty of Versailles and fears of communist uprisings. In the early 1920s, the Nazi Party used militaristic imagery and rhetoric portraying themselves as protectors of traditional German values to build support. While an attempted coup failed in 1923, Hitler refined the party's strategy in prison to focus on winning elections. After the Great Depression began in 1929, the Nazis capitalized on the economic crisis and weaknesses of the Weimar government to scapegoat others and position themselves as the solution, enabling them to become the largest party by 1933 and allow Hitler to become Chancellor.
Hitler became Chancellor of Germany in 1933 due to several converging factors: 1) the Nazi party gained popularity after the 1929 stock market crash exacerbated Germany's economic woes, 2) conservative politicians believed they could control Hitler and made deals that put him in power, 3) Hitler's oratory skills and use of propaganda through rallies appealed to Germans, and 4) paramilitary Brownshirts intimidated rivals through violence.
The document lists several factors that helped explain the rise of the Nazis in Germany:
1. The instability of the Weimar Republic and lack of support for it created political instability.
2. Economic crises like hyperinflation in 1923 and the Great Depression in the 1930s hurt the German economy and people lost faith in the Weimar government.
3. Resentment of the Treaty of Versailles' terms added to nationalist sentiment and weakened support for the post-WW1 democratic government.
4. Hitler's skill as a public speaker and propagandist helped rally support for the Nazi party among middle and working class Germans.

Chapter 3 nazism and rise of hitler ,class 9OM Mundotiya
The document summarizes the rise of Nazism and Adolf Hitler's path to power in Germany. It discusses the establishment of the Weimar Republic after World War 1, the harsh terms imposed by the Treaty of Versailles which caused resentment, the economic depression of the late 1920s which fueled support for Hitler, and his consolidation of power by 1933. It then outlines how the Nazi regime transformed Germany through propaganda, education of youth, and a cult of motherhood focused on increasing the Aryan population.
The Weimar Republic faced significant unrest from its inception due to defeat in World War 1, the harsh Treaty of Versailles, and a fragile democratic system. Political extremism increased on both the left and right as the economic situation deteriorated with the onset of the Great Depression in 1929. Chancellor Brüning imposed harsh austerity measures which hurt the economy but failed to stabilize the political system. As the turmoil grew, conventional governing became impossible, paving the way for the rise of the Nazis.
The document summarizes the rise of the Nazi party in Germany from 1919-1933 in three key periods:
1) 1919-1923: After World War 1, many Germans felt betrayed by their government and turned to extremist right-wing groups like the Nazi party and Freikorps for strength and opposition to the Treaty of Versailles. The Nazi party gained early support through militaristic imagery and targeting communists.
2) 1924-1929: The Nazi party regained strength under Hitler's leadership, focusing on traditional values and stoking fears of the left wing through propaganda.

The rise of the Nazi party began in 1919 with the formation of the German Workers' Party by Anton Drexler. In the early 1920s, Adolf Hitler became the leader and outlined the party's 25-point program. After an unsuccessful coup attempt in 1923, the Nazis struggled for power until the Great Depression, when Hitler's message of German nationalism and anti-Semitism gained widespread appeal. Through democratic elections and intimidation of opponents, Hitler was appointed chancellor in 1933 and quickly consolidated power, establishing a fascist dictatorship by year's end.

With growing support, Hitler was appointed chancellor in 1933 and through the Enabling Act gained dictatorial control over Germany.
The document discusses the rise of Hitler and Nazism in Germany. It can be summarized as follows:
1) Hitler's father was a prominent physician who debated killing his family to avoid revenge from the Allies for Nazi crimes, but ultimately the whole family committed suicide.
2) After World War 1, Germany struggled under the new Weimar Republic and faced humiliation over the Treaty of Versailles. The poor economy created conditions for Hitler and the Nazis to rise to power.
3) Once in power in 1933, Hitler dismantled democracy and established a Nazi dictatorship through the Enabling Act, banning all other political parties. The Nazis then implemented racist ideology and policies that systematically stripped rights from Jews and other groups.
Dr. Joseph Goebbels was in charge of Nazi propaganda in Germany. The propaganda ensured that Germans could only be exposed to information promoting Nazi ideology, such as the superiority of Hitler and harm of Jews. Hitler exploited economic turmoil and the unpopularity of the Treaty of Versailles to gain widespread appeal for his message of restoring German power and pride. He was a skilled orator who manipulated Germans and consolidated power by establishing the Nazi Party and using violence.

Hitler exploited propaganda, the weaknesses of the Weimar Republic, and the economic turmoil following World War 1 and the Great Depression to rise to power in Germany. He portrayed the Nazis as able to restore Germany's power and pride by abolishing the Treaty of Versailles and scapegoated Jewish people. Hitler was a skilled, persuasive speaker who promoted nationalist, anti-Semitic ideology that gained widespread appeal among many Germans seeking a strong leader to solve the country's problems.
Adolf Hitler was a powerful German dictator who converted Germany into a militarized society and launched World War II in 1939. He made anti-Semitism a key part of Nazi ideology and built the party into a mass movement, hoping to conquer Europe and the world. Under his rule, millions of Jews and others were killed or imprisoned in concentration camps in the Holocaust.
The document provides background on the development of the Nazi Party in Germany from 1919-1933. It describes the formation of the German Workers' Party in 1919 and Adolf Hitler joining later that year. In 1920, the party changed its name to the National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nazi Party). In 1923, Hitler and the Nazis attempted to overthrow the Bavarian government in the Beer Hall Putsch, which failed and resulted in Hitler's arrest. While in prison, Hitler wrote Mein Kampf. The Nazi Party continued growing in the later 1920s with the establishment of groups like the SS and Hitler Youth.
CAMBRIDGE A2 HISTORY: HITLER'S TOTALITARIAN REGIME. Suitable for Year 13 History students in Cambridge. It contains: overview, totalitarian regimes, Hitler in Vienna, etc.
The document discusses several key problems faced by the Weimar Republic in the 1920s that contributed to its eventual collapse. The Weimar Constitution gave too much power to the president, states, and army while proportional voting led to a weak divided Reichstag with 28 parties. Extremists on both the left and right, such as communist and nationalist groups, tried to overthrow the government. The German economy faced severe issues following World War 1 and the Treaty of Versailles, experiencing hyperinflation and foreign occupation of territories. Dissatisfaction with the treaty terms grew Nazi support.
The document summarizes key events from 1929 to 1939 that led up to World War 2:
1) The Great Depression hit Germany hard in 1929, leading many to support Hitler's promise of jobs and food. By 1930, the Nazis became the second largest party in Germany.
2) Hitler steadily consolidated power over the next several years, becoming Chancellor in 1933 and establishing a dictatorship after the Reichstag Fire. Anti-Jewish laws were passed in 1935.
3) Germany continued expanding its military and aligning with other countries throughout the late 1930s. Finally, in 1939, Hitler's invasion of Poland marked the official start of World War 2.

2) Hitler steadily consolidated power over the next several years, becoming Chancellor in 1933 and establishing a dictatorship after the Reichstag Fire. He eliminated opposition parties and began persecuting Jews.
3) By 1939, Hitler had gained control of Germany's military, economy, and laws. He invaded Poland, marking the official start of World War 2. Most Germans supported Hitler's actions up to this point due to nationalist pride and economic promises

2) Hitler steadily consolidated power over the next several years, becoming Chancellor in 1933 and establishing a dictatorship after the Reichstag Fire. He eliminated opposition and stripped Jewish people of their rights.
3) By the late 1930s, Germany was fully under Nazi control and Hitler was expanding German territory by taking over Austria and parts of Czechoslovakia, leading to the invasion of Poland in 1939 and the start of World War 2.
Adolf Hitler rose to power in Germany after capitalizing on resentment over the weak Weimar government and Great Depression. He became chancellor in 1933 and established a Nazi dictatorship. Initially improving the economy, Hitler rapidly instituted racist policies, stripping Jews of rights and encouraging attacks. By 1939, seeking to expand German territory and pursue racial ideology, Hitler had invaded Poland, starting World War II after Western democracies failed to counter German and Italian aggression through appeasement or an ineffective League of Nations.
1. In the early 1930s, Germany was struggling economically and politically after the stock market crash and onset of the Great Depression. This led many Germans to support Hitler and the Nazi party.
2. Hitler rose to power, becoming Chancellor in 1933 and consolidating power as a dictator by 1935 after removing opposition. He rapidly rebuilt the German military and took steps to persecute Jews.
3. Germany continued expanding aggressively under Hitler, remilitarizing the Rhineland in 1936, annexing Austria and demanding parts of Czechoslovakia in 1938-1939, until invading Poland in 1939 which marked the start of World War II.

The document is promoting a sock drive being held by the Vancouver Missions Trip team to collect new socks for people experiencing homelessness in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver. It notes that socks are a basic need that many struggle to obtain. It encourages readers to donate new dark socks to collection boxes at schools or Sunny 94 radio to help keep people's feet warm this winter. Donating socks is an easy way to help those in need.
Nationalism was a major cause of World War 2 according to the document. It summarizes key events between 1929-1939 in Germany that show the rise of nationalism and Hitler's exploitation of it to gain power. Hitler inflamed German nationalism by blaming other countries and minorities for their economic struggles. As he consolidated power and removed opposition, Germans increasingly saw themselves as a superior race destined to regain former glory through war. By 1939, German nationalism had been radicalized to the point the people enthusiastically supported Hitler's invasion of Poland, launching World War 2.
Nationalism was a major cause of World War 2 according to the document. It summarizes the rise of German nationalism following World War 1 and the Great Depression. Hitler exploited German nationalism to rise to power, presenting himself as someone who could restore Germany's economy and international prestige. He inflamed German pride and stoked hatred against Jews, restricting their rights and encouraging anti-Semitism. As Germans increasingly saw themselves as a superior people, they willingly followed Hitler into World War 2, believing it would allow them to take back what they thought was rightfully theirs.
Political and legal concepts are complex with many "isms". This document likely explores different political and legal ideologies such as socialism, capitalism, communism, and more. It aims to define these "isms" and examine their implications for political and legal systems.

Descartes' famous quote "I think, therefore I am" is examined. By having thoughts and making decisions for oneself, one can prove they are not an avatar or character controlled by another. The ability to remember past experiences and choose one's own path in life demonstrates free will and an independent mind, rather than being a virtual construct. While some argue avatars may continue when logged out, they require external input and direction to function, unlike an independent thinking being. Therefore, the very act of considering one's own existence proves one must exist as a real entity with an independent mind.
The document lists 5 key causes of the American Revolution:
1. The Intolerable Acts and the meetings of the First and Second Continental Congresses led the colonies to assert their independence and prepare to fight Britain.
2. Paul Revere's ride and the battles of Lexington and Concord angered the colonists and fueled their desire for independence after British troops killed American militiamen.
3. The Boston Massacre turned colonial attitudes against Britain when British troops killed civilian protesters.
4. New taxes from the French and Indian War and subsequent acts increased colonial debt dependence and changed colonial attitudes towards British rule.
5. The Boston Tea Party and Intolerable Acts closed Boston port

1. Nationalism as a Cause of World War Two
Humanities 20-1, Mr. Esteves
Ashten Blain
1929
• Wall Street stock market crash hit Germany hard because the
economy was built on mostly loans from America and was
dependent on trade, so when the loans needed to be paid and there
was no trade, Germany’s industrialism stopped; German workers
were laid off, banks failed so saving and accounts were wiped out,
inflation made it difficult to purchase necessities, etc.
• Hitler decided that he needed to do everything at a political level
aboveboard, so that he would be seen as a legitimate leader and not
someone associated with violence and bad things; wanted to
highlight the failings of other political parties
⇒ Hitler’s inflamed sense of nationalism encouraged him to share his beliefs and values with his
fellow countrymen. His strong dependence on his beliefs gave him the reassurance he needed
to do whatever he could to further his cause, no matter what people thought about him.
• Image: Inflation led to such high prices and such a low dollar value, that it was actually cheaper
to burn money than to pay for firewood http://www.thegreatdepression.co.uk/
effects-on-germany/
1930
• Depression really took hold of Germany, and Germany had to repay the debt created by the
Young Plan; Hitler tried to defeat the Young plan and this campaign made him a political force
throughout the country; in his campaigning he turned down his
Jewish hatred and promised to get rid of Communists and
“other enemies “ and to reunite Germany and other
German speaking parts of Europe
• Extremists were losing popularity because stability was
returning; German Nationalist party made him respectable by
asking for him to help campaign against the Young Plan’s repayment arrangements; Nazi party
won 18.3% of the vote in September 1930
⇒ German nationalism made German citizens sympathize with one another, and the thought of
more or worse poverty because of the repayments to America worried them all. Hitler, although
not the most popular politician in the works at the time, definitely was able to wiggle his foot in
the door because of the small amount of doubt in the minds of the people.

hitler-part-7-of-the-most-dangerous-book-on-earth-%E2%80%93warnin/
1931
• Many banks and financial institutions were falling apart at the seams, and the Nazi party and
Hitler took advantage of this to show that the current government was
ineffective
• The SS Engagement and Marriage order is announced and under this law no
member of the SS is allowed to get married unless the couples respective
genealogy had been analyzed by a new SS department called the Office of
Race and Settlement
⇒ Hitler was trying to create a sense of nationalism in German people, to the
point where they felt they were better than any person of any other race,
and therefore entitled to more. By creating a clear separation, Hitler was
able to set the German’s apart from others living in the same area.
• Image: a chart to help the new Office of Race and Settlement classify people

1932
• Nazi party receives 30.1 percent of the vote for president; in a runoff election,
Hitler receives 36.8 percent; SA and SS are banned after coup is discovered; ban on
SA and SS is lifted
• Hitler tries to move into position as chancellor, but is denied by Hindenburg twice
⇒ As the democratic government loses control over the Reichstag, the army and the economy,
people begin to become worried. The lack of confidence united them as a people, and they
began to look for extreme solutions for an extreme and complicated problem.
• Image: an elections poster for the last year German citizens had a choice in their ruler http://

1933
• Hitler is appointed Chancellor by Hindenburg; Brownshirts celebrate Hitler’s appointment with a
torchlight parade through Berlin
3. • Hindenburg signs the Decree for the Protection of the People and the State, which was drawn
up by Hitler’s aides, entitling Hitler to suspend the civil liberties of the people of Germany, and
to put opponents of the Nazi party in prison and concentration camps; the passing of this law
would effectively remove democracy and establish Hitler as the dictator
⇒ Nationalism takes a step towards ultra-nationalism at this point, as Hitler begins to over-control
and overprotect the German people in order to bring them to where they need to be. By
removing competition of the Nazi party and removing other systems of government, Hitler
paved the way for his beliefs and values to be spread throughout Germany and the people.
• Image: The torchlight parade in Berlin streets http://www.life.com/image/50877249
1934
• Hitler and the Nazis announced within hours of Hindenburg’s death that the position of
president would be combined with the position of chancellor, and therefore Hitler was named
president of Germany
• Hitler changed the laws so that the oaths that the public
officials and soldiers had to use was sworn to Hitler,
the Fuhrer of Germany, rather than to the
German government or German nation, and they were
forced to take this oath if they were to enter service
⇒ Hitler felt that the only way Germany would return
to order was through the Nazi regime. By
combining Chancellor and President, he ensured that he
would be at the head of the government and could spread his fiery nationalism to his people.
• Image: German soldiers swearing loyalty to Hitler http://germanhistorydocs.ghi-
dc.org/sub_imglist.cfm?sub_id=196§ion_id=13
1935
• Nuremberg Laws: German citizens may not marry or have sex with Jews in order to keep the
blood pure (punishment of hard labor); Jews are not allowed to employ female German citizens
under 45 as domestic workers(punishment of imprisonment or hard labor); Jews aren’t allowed
to display the Reich and national flag or national colors, but can
display Jewish colors(punishment of a year in prison and a fine,
or hard labor)
• Luftwaffe: Hitler signed a secret decree that authorized the Reich
Luftwaffe as a third German military service to join the army and
4. navy; Treaty of Versailles prohibited air force in Germany, but Hitler made the Lufthansa into a
civilian airline, therefore not infringing on the rules of the treaty, but still providing training to
his new air force pilots; he began to reveal this Luftwaffe little by little so that they would not
alarm foreign governments
⇒ Hitler really began to try to drive a wedge between Germans and Jews so that nationalism was
felt very differently by the two different groups. In encouraging the nationalism and superiority
in the German citizens, he made them feel better and feel against the Jews.
• Image: German Luftwaffe planes

1936
• German troops reenter the demilitarized Rhineland , military
conscription begins, 2 year compulsory military service begins
• Jewish stores aren’t allowed to renew leases, Jewish teachers aren’t
allowed to tutor German children, Jewish authors are blacklisted,
Nazi’s begin campaigning to remove Jews from German economic life;
restrictions are placed on Jews throughout the country as anti-Semitic
views become more popular
⇒ The Nazi’s encouragement of the exclusion of Jews made the German citizens feel superior. This
boosted the feeling of nationalism in the German people, as they felt they were superior to the
Jews, and as the people began to believe it, Hitler was encouraged and pushed to continue on
his path.

1937
5. • Hitler formally ends obedience to the Treaty of Versailles; German warplanes attack a Spanish
town, and this becomes the first air bombardment of an undefended
town in history (picture of Guernica, Spain, after bombardment)
• Hitler outlines plans for a future war, confiding in his general of his intent
to destroy Czechoslovakia; this was the beginning of Hitler’s process of
beginning war
⇒ Ultra-nationalism flexes its muscles here, as the Germans show their new might in their air force
and their defiance of the Treaty of Versailles, hereby raising confidence of the German people in
their own government and fear of Germany for other countries.
• Image: Guernica, Spain after the German bombardment
http://robertwhiston.wordpress.com/2009/11/01/20/
1938
• The Munich Agreement: allowed Nazi German to combine
Czechoslovakia’s Sudetenland, areas along the Czech borders that
were mostly inhabited by ethnic Germans; a way to appease Hitler
• Hitler invades Austria and announces that Austria has become part
of the German Reich and the laws of Germany are applied in
Austria (including anti-Semitism)
⇒ People in Czechoslovakia felt that they identified as much with the German people as they did
with any of the other small sections of the population. When Hitler came to take over
Czechoslovakia, the people there were open to it because they were facing the same unrest and
problems that Germany was. They were looking for an extreme solution to their extreme
problem, like everyone else in the country.
• Image: German troops entering Austria (Anschluss)
http://www.historycentral.com/Europe/Anshluss.html
1939
• Hitler takes over Czechoslovakia, seemingly because of the wishes of the president, but actually
would have taken it by force
• Hitler started World War 2: propagandist reason, codenamed
Operation Himmler, was to have the SS act out false attacks by the
Polish army towards the German army on the border. They hired a
Polish speaking German man to grab the microphone at a radio
station and begin a speech in Polish stating that the time had come
for the Poles to retaliate against the Germans. Concentration camp prisoners dressed in the
army uniform of Poland were to be killed by lethal injection, then shot over and over and left as
6. evidence of the Polish attacks; on September 1st, 1939, the German army marched into Poland,
destroying everything in their path, and effectively beginning World War 2
⇒ The German people were ready for a war. They believed, because their leader had taught them
to, that the only way to improve their situation was to fight for it. Nationalism prepared them
for a war, and not only were they ready for the act, but they were ready to accept the
consequences. Their need for stability as a country transcended other needs, and they were
ready to do what it took to achieve their goals.

Biggest Results of Nationalism:
1. The Germans Marching on Poland (and beginning WWII)
a. Because the German people felt prepared and maybe even wanted a war, they were
fine to help in any way they could to restore Germany to what it was before the Great
Depression hit. They all felt that they were in the same situation and identified as a
whole, and were completely prepared to work together to crawl out of their situation.
2. Conscription and the Swelling of Military Numbers
a. As Germany neared a time of war, the people began to feel that they needed to fight to
return themselves to their former glory, not in small part due to their fanatical leader.
Voluntary sign ups increased, and objection to conscription was much less than normal.
3. Invasion of Czechoslovakia
a. While it was a takeover by force, the Czechoslovakian people were open to a change in
government and needed an extreme solution to the same extreme problem Germany
was facing.
4. End of the Treaty of Versailles
a. Now openly defiant of the restrictions placed on them by the Treaty of Versailles, the
country of Germany, and Hitler were now able to let their power increase without being
limited by the Treaty. Nationalism grew as confidence in their safety and power grew.
5. Hitler’s Aboveboard Actions
a. Hitler made sure that everything he did to come to power was looked on as
correct so that he would be accepted as a legitimate politician. Hitler wanted to
be looked on as someone who had come from the same place everyone else
had, so that they would identify with him, and so that he felt just as much a part
of his country as other citizens would.
