The Removal of Opposition in 1933 Allowed Hitler to Become a Dictator The removal of both internal and external opposition in the period March 1933 to August 1934 allowed Hitler to become a dictator. The first thing Hitler had to do was to remove 'external' opposition, (opposition outside the party). On the 27th February 1933 the Reichstag building was set on fire. A Dutch communist was caught by the authorities, was put on trial and eventually found guilty of starting the fire. Hitler said the fire was evidence of a communist plot to take control of the government. Hitler used this to his advantage and persuaded Hindenburg to sign an emergency decree, the law for the Protection of People and the State'. This new rule ended all freedoms guaranteed in the constitution and gave the police total power. Working with the S.A., the police arrested Communist leaders, detained them without trial and closed all their newspapers down. A lot of evidence actually points to the Nazi's burning down the Reichstag building. Nazi terror tactics reached a peak after the fire. The Enabling Act was then put in place. The Act gave Hitler power to make laws without the approval of either the Reichstag or the President. On voting day each voting station was policed by a mass of uniformed Nazi officers watching people as they made their vote. Hitler and his party were out of control. He banned communists from serving in the Reichstag and then put his plan into action to convince other parties, that his way was the right way to go. Really, the parties had no choice as to whether or not they would follow Hitler. If they refused to align with him Hitler would simply run their party out of existence, making sure only he could have his say. Hitler's final task was to remove any threats within his own party. Ernst Röhm wanted to take total control of the army. This startled Hitler as it would make Röhm more powerful than he himself was. Another reason Hitler saw him as a threat was because he held
In closing, this book informs us on how the Republicans went crazy and Democrats became useless, and how it’s become a problem. The books unfolds the faults of the Republicans and Democrats “behind the scenes”, and made me more aware of the parties today.
8.In order for political success, both sides of the political spectrum must be critically examined in order to omit mistakes and for cultural advancement. Over two hundred years of United States politics have seen many changes. The names of parties may have changed, but the bi-partisan feature of the party-system has not. Republicans and Democrats are our two major partisan groups in present day America. Sometimes there are disagreement amongst party members that lead to dispute and a less concentrated effort. That is the beauty of a democracy, everyone is allowed to put their two cents worth in.
Hitler's Effective Control Over Germany From 1933 to 1945 the Nazi party of Germany ruled over the German population. The Nazis (National Socialist Party) were ruled by Adolf Hitler. The Nazis main aim was to make Germany into a stronger more powerful country and Hitler also led Germany into the destruction of the country by leading them into the Second World War. How was Hitler able to do this?
Why was Hitler elected Chancellor in 1933? Who supported Hitler? Who persuaded the president to let Hitler become Chancellor? Here some reasons why Hitler came into power. A man by the name of Adolf Hitler was elected Chancellor on January 30, 1933, which made WWII on September 1, 1939, which was a terrible time in history. On June 28, 1919, the Treaty of Versailles was signed. The Victorious Powers (United States, Great Britain, France, and many more) “forced” Germany to sign the Treaty of Versailles. This gains support to Hitler by promising to overturn the Victorious Powers. In the early 1930s, the Worldwide Economic Depression happened, and it hit Germany hard, leaving millions of people in Germany with no jobs. This hit them hard because
In the presidential elections of 1980 and 1992, in both cases, the third party received a good amount of popular vote (Doc B). This should mean that they should receive electoral votes. But that’s not the case. This shows a dominance of our 2-party system. Even bet...

The Effect of the Great Depression on Hitler's Power There is no simple answer as to why Hitler became chancellor in January 1933. There are a number of causal factors which all contributed to his rise into power. Any of the factors, on its own, however, would not have resulted in his appointment. They are all linked in a web of causation and if any of the factors were missing, Hitler would not have been appointed chancellor. Of the factors I would say that the Great Depression was the most important.
The Holocaust was the great plan to make Jews to become instinct and other people that Hitler considered inferior to him. Adolf Hitler and the Nazis in Germany led this great plan from 1933 to 1945. Approximately twelve million people had their lives taken, half being Jews. Everything changed and became impacted all around the world when Hitler took over Germany, he had a strong prejudice against the Jews. His goal was to create the perfect race of human, blonde hair, blue eyed Germans. The soldiers in Hitler’s camp was his followers, the Nazis, which did all of his dirty work for him. There were also many other people that contributed to his massive event. There became different clans and groups of people going out on their own and doing the killing also, not only Jews. For example, the doctors that ran test on people and experimented on the people didn’t care about their patients wellbeing or health

The Weakness of the Weimar Republic and Hitler's Rise to Power The question directly relates to the idea that the political power of a country can be taken over by ambitious people in different ways. From our knowledge we know there is three ways this can be done…by take over by force, also known as a 'coup d'etat', in a more democratic and just way or by a political deal. In the 1920's and the 1930's Hitler led a right wing political party and was seen by many as a dictator. He wanted to overthrow and control the German government and he tried all three of these ways in an attempt to do so, some methods were more successful than others.
Hitler's Appointment as Chancellor in 1933 A combination of factors led to Hitler being given the position of Chancellor (the second-highest post of the then current German government) on the 30th of January 1933. The final, direct reasons for his selection were political, but Hitler was only able to reach that point through appealing to the German public. It was not too hard for Hitler to impress the average German: He was by far the most promising. His promises were not aimed at being better than the other parties; instead he told the people he would give them what they wanted.

Evaluating the View that the Depression Was the Main Reason Why Hitler Was Able to Become Chancellor By 1933
German history is seen as a ‘painful issue for thousands of Germans and other Europeans’ . However it has interested many historians over the years into inquiring how and why Hitler came to power and how much of this was to do with the failure of parliamentary democracy in Germany. To fully ascertain to what extent these events have in common and what reasons led to the fall of democracy and rise of the Nazis, each have to be looked at individually. Also it seems beneficial, to be able to evaluate these in the relevant context, to look at the situation in Germany was in prior to 1920.
