 Point: The Economic crisis of 1929 created a situation of desperation that the Weimar Republic was unable to resolve, thus leading to mass social discontent and driving people to consider extreme political parties for a solution to the bleak economic outlook. This created an easy avenue of exploitation for the rising political parties. Elaboration: The Weimar government was already facing profound underlying pressure in 1929, when the death of Stresemann, coupled with the Wall street crash In 1929, The effects of the Wall Street crash in 1929 were felt around the world, and especially Germany. The country had no choice but to pay back loans form USA, who was facing its very own economic problems. Germanys money was stopped and this spiraled into a devastating depression.

Appeal of Hitler/ Nazi ideology The Nazi programme states that We demand equality of right for the German people in its dealings with other nations, and abolition of the Peace Treaty of Versailles Nazi ideology is nationalistic, opposed to parliamentary democracy, racist and socialist Hitlers speeches appealed to the emotions instead of the intellect many were in weary of disillusionment, like a wonderer seeking a cause, and a patriot without a channel for patriotism Hitler made Germany feel proud and brought back a sense of strength to the country after the embarrassment and shame of the treaty of Versailles.
