Failure of Parliamentary Democracy in Germany and Hitler’s Rise to Powe

Failure of Parliamentary body politic in Ger some and Hitlers Rise to PowerGerman history is seen as a biting issue for thousands of Germans and other Europeans . However it has interested many historians over the age 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 take a leak in common and what reasons led to the fall of democracy and rise of the national socialists, 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 front to 1920. In 1919, the treaty of Versailles was signed marking the end of do important of a function war One. Soon after, the Weimar republic was established. It was hoped that this democratic make-up would mark a turning point for Germany. Turning the people of Germany away from the authoritarian style of politic al science they were utilise to, towards a more stable democracy. Since the German nation was used to being ruled, rather than ruling itself, it was a hard transition to accomplish. Democracy was a new concept within Germany and many people were impulsive to look to the left and right wings for political leadership. Also World War One had created an unsettling influence on the people of Germany and the establishment of Weimar, with its desire for freedom and democracy hoped to settle this. In essence Weimar faced many problems from the outset it had to cope with not only political challenges, but stinting problems, structural weaknesses and the legacy of World War One.

This was Hitlers main opponent in the quest for leadership of the national socialist party.The Weimar Republics demise and Hitlers rise to power are very inter-linked. This mou ntain be shown by the static enrolment for the Nazi party when Stresseman brought Germany into the date of the golden years. It could be said that opposition to democracy lift and fell in harmony with movements in prosperity. Hitler exploited this with his political deepness of knowing what and when to promise things in the new Germany. Many reasons for the fall of democracy also link to Hitlers rise of power. It could be argued that if Weimar had been a stronger constitution then Hitler would not have come to power. However Hitler was an opportunist and I believe that if Weimar had survived Hitler would have found another way to rise to Germanys dictator.
