Money makes the world go round, and in case of Germany in 1933, it allowed a certain Adolf Hitler to rise to power. I agree with this statement as i feel that besides money issues, Hitler's own attributes allowed him to rise to power.
The lost of a capable leader, Gustav Stresseman, died of a heart attack. His death made Germany very vulnerable again as it depended on America's ability to lend money. Before he died, he brought stability to Germany and ended the Ruhr occupation. This means that there would be more income for Germany again. However, since Germany was vulnerable, this made Hitler to take the chance to rise to power as he could use the excuse of the people being poor and to help them if he was at that high position.
The constitution and system of proportion representation to help them with Hitler rise to power. Germany's government could not last more than two years as it keeps changing government. This means that there would be no stability as no single party would be dominant. Hitler then advocated a different system of government. It helped many parties to gain seats in the government and allowed Germans above 20 to vote. This would let the Germans to have a say in Germany and also they will support Hitler as he helped them.
Hitler was an excellent speaker and charismatic leader. People would be mesmerized by his speech and would sit down and listen to him talk for hours. Hitler seemed to understand their problems and promised them that he would bring stability back to Germany. By doing this, Hitler would be more popular among the Germans as they would be willing to trust him even more. This also allowed Hitler to rise to power.
