Hitler


            On January 30, 1933, Adolf Hitler was elected chancellor of Germany. Hitler's promises of peace, honor, and justice invigorated the hopes of Germans who had suffered through World War I. Hitler began many programs to rejuvenate German to its former glory. But this was not meant to be. In 1923, Germany was in big trouble. France and Belgium sent troops to Germany. Hitler saw an opportunity amid these troubles to overthrow the German and Bavarian governments. Hitler founded a private army called the storm troopers. He planned to send 2,000 storm troopers headed by German General Erich F.W. Ludendorff against the governments. Police ended this procession, and Hitler was sentenced to 5 years in prison. In prison he wrote a book titled, Mein Kampf (My Struggle), talking about his plan to conquer all of Europe. Hitler wrote in Mein Kampf that the Jews were the main cause for all of Germany's woes. He blamed the Jews for all the evils of the world, of corrupting everything of ethical and national value. He believed that the Germans represented a superior form of humanity; he prohibited Germans from marrying Jews and Slavs. Hitler was released from prison in December of 1924. Many changes had taken place after 5 years, as most people had work, homes, food, and hope for the future. In 1929, Germany agreed to launch the Young Plan to reschedule reparations payments. Hitler had launched a worldwide campaign to defeat the plan. This campaign became a turning point in Hitler's political career. Hitler was now recognized as a major political force in the eyes of Germany's people. He led protests, marches, organized meetings, and delivered speeches all throughout Germany. The majority of German people and leading politicians did not want Hitler to become chancellor of Germany, as they understood that he would establish himself as a dictator. Accepting Hitler's promise to act lawfully if he were named to form a government, Hindenburg named Hitler chancellor on January 30, 1933.
