How did German democracy fall to fascism

Sagot :

Answer:

Germany fell to National Socialism through a weak democratic government and political instability.

Explanation:

The Weimar Republic was extremely unstable and had made poor decisions. With a huge debt amount due to the Treaty of Versailles and the Great Depression, many voters were looking for radical parties that promised for economic prosperity. One of those parties was the NSDAP (National Socialist German Workers Party) or Nazis. Hitler had promised for a greater Germany and once he was elected as chancellor of Germany, he started economic relief programs and major civil engineering projects which made him popular. One night the Nazi Party planned the burning of the Reichstag (German Parliament) and blamed it on the Communists which granted Hitler "Emergency Powers." He used these powers to make him the absolute dictator of Germany.
