Briefly explain Hitler's rise to power.

The 1929 Wall Street Crash caused huge economic problems for Germany. Hitler and his party capitalised on the social unrest generated by these economic problems to secure support. He was also a very motivational public speaker, and he distributed very clever propaganda. The Nazi party exploited the fear of communism in order to secure votes. By the election late in 1932, Hitler had the largest party in the Reichstag. As a result of this, he was able to push for the position of chancellor, which he was given in 1933. After this, he was then able to forcibly coerce members of the Reichstag to pass the Enabling Act, meaning that he was able to govern without their approval.
