Recommended: How important was the great depression in hitler rise power

Adolph Hitler is seen by many as a socialist with great wickedness that scarred the world forever however; Hitler was one of the most influential leaders of all time with great intelligence and charisma despite his unstable childhood and insecurity. His strong personality, leadership, affection for his people and stubborn willpower brought Germany out of a depression in 5 years, reduced the unemployment rates to a shocking 100% over the course of 6 years, and modernized the infrastructure of his country both economically and militarily. His charisma, dedication, personality, leadership and eloquence make him one of the most dynamic leaders in Europe.

Hitler’s ability to cause the people to move towards a common goal made him one of the most successful leaders in history by skillfully carrying out policies that would bring his country respect. The great depression in Germany shows this. Although the great depression in Germany was the greatest economic crisis in history, Hitler through his great organization abilities and ability to take advantage of unfavorable conditions in a resolute manner turned this great crisis around within 5 years. Hitler’s creation of a National Labor Service, supervision over Germany’s economy, growth in Germany’s labor market and application of reckless tactics brought Germany that was once on the brink of calamity in 1929 due to the fall in stock prices, rise in unemployment, famine and lack of trade to a more prosperous state at 1935. (Simkin)

For one man to fix the stock market crash, bank failures by over 9000 banks, reduction in purchase by consumers and effects of a devastating drought in 5 years that seems like one of the greatest accomplishments ever attained in history! Even in the United S...

  • Hitler's Powerful Leadership

    1220 Words  | 3 Pages

    The setting was perfect as the people of Germany were primed and ready for any leader that would tickle their ears with what they were wanting to hear. World War I was over (#4) and the people of Germany were in an economic depression that crippled the country. The German mark had lost so much value that it took a wheelbarrow full of money to buy a loaf of bread. A good portion of the youth in Germany were raised in fatherless homes. In an article written by Dr. Alice Hamilton, she says this about Hitler's youth: "They were children during the years of the war when the food blockade kept them half starved, when fathers were away at the front and mothers distracted with the effort to keep their families fed. They came to manhood in a country which seemed to have no use for them. Even compulsory military training was no more and there was nothing to take its place" (Perry et. al 358). Hitler, being the sleazy opportunist that he was, capitalized on this state of affairs. In ways that were not politically correct, he was able to influence this segment of the population and hold them in allegiance to his agenda. "Hitler made each insignificant, poverty stricken, jobless youth of the slums feel himself as of the great of the earth, since the youth was a German, a Nordic, far superior to the successful Jew who was driven out of office and counting house to make place for the youth and his like" (Perry et. al 359). The following is an example of how Hitler coerced and manipulated people and how we as managers and leaders can learn from his mistakes. This essay will also address how we can effectively influence people and earn their loyalty. In order to effectively influence peopl...

  • The Brilliant and Evil Hitler

    1033 Words  | 3 Pages

    Hitler was both brilliant and evil. He won the following of nearly all German people, and brought a desperate country out of poverty and post-war dissolution. It was not by virtue that Hitler accomplished these things. Instead, it was through evil planning, mass rallies, emotional appeal to a vulnerable population, stirring military displays, and the eventual extermination of millions of innocent people: Jews (anyone with one or more Jewish grandparent), Communists, Negroes, the mentally ill, and anyone else in his way. He called his plan to rid the world of "inferior" human beings the "Final Solution." Hitler had a brilliant mind. He brought Germany out of post-war depression and create jobs, comradere, and a better economy, yet he was very evil.

  • Hitler's Utopia

    1023 Words  | 3 Pages

    Adolf Hitler came to power on February 28, 1933 (Rossel). He rose to power using inflammatory speeches and inspiring hope for the defeated Germans. He constructed a system to empower the German people and allow them to thrive in the period after the Great Depression (Noakes). Using keen acumen and decisive moves, he was able to turn Germany into a war machine bent on the creation of an Aryan utopian society, at the cost of all inferior races, especially the Jews ("The Period between 1933 and 1939"). At this time Germany was a defeated country. They had recently had numerous humiliating defeats in WWI, and the Germans no longer had the pride they once had celebrated (Laurita). Augmented by the fact that the Great Depression had ravaged the country and left many in a state of penury and impoverished, the Germans were desperate. As well, Germany was currently a country without any source of stability without a generally supported constitution. When Hitler promised a utopian society filled with hope and where the Germans would be exalted as the superior race, the Germans listened and obeyed his every word (Noakes). Hitler fed on the desperation and hopelessness of these German people to make a society driven by fear; this state of pity allowed Hitler to convince the Germans that he could provide a better future.
