Germany 1918-1933

The 2 conditions that made the Nazi's take power over Germany was because they took advantage of the people of Germany's suffering and the Reichstag Fire. The treaty of Versailles made it so that Germany had pay for all the reparations after World War 1, thus hyperinflation and economic crisis hits Germany. Because of hyperinflation (making it so that the country's currency is pretty much worthless) the Germans were desperate for their daily needs such as food, heat and a job. Many people, including Hitler, were against this and they thought it should be abolished. He took advantage of this by saying that if the Germans voted for the Nazis, they would abolish the Treaty, making them want to vote for Hitler even more. The Reichstag fire also contributed to the Nazi's gaining power because afterwards, Hitler blamed the Communist for the fire making the Germans think that the Communist were bad people, so that they wouldn't vote for them and instead vote for the Nazi's.
