1Adolf Hitler's rise to power was one of a hard common sense and unpleasant fantasy and it's not so much how he came to power but why he came to power. There are many reasons why Hitler came to power, some for example were the political and economic weaknesses at that time in Germany due to the Depression, the Industrialists willingness to accept Adolf Hitler for fear of Communism and the strong leader Hitler presented himself as. Propaganda, use of force and the destruction of any who opposed Hitler were also contributing factors of his rise to power.

A Depression or an economic slump usually weakens a democratic government and strengthens authoritarianism, this being the case for Germany during the rise of Hitler. The German people feared that their country was falling into ruins and the government efforts to combat the slump by placing severe restrictions on money spent only exacerbated the situation further.
