Significance Of The Munich Putsch Between The Years Of 1923 To 1939
Overall, I would say that the Munich Putsch was very significant in between the years of 1923 to 1939. Before the Munich Putsch, nobody seemed to like the new government so many overthrows were attempted. This new type of government was very different from living under a Kaiser. The Munich Putsch was Adolf Hitler’s ( at this time the leader of Germany. He was not the founder) attempted overthrow of the government. His attempted failed which leaded to him going to jail where he wrote Meim Kampf, My Struggle. Hitler then began to rise until Hitler and the Nazi Party ruled Germany completely. After this point in history, WWII began and Germany was defeated in the war because of Hitler’s ego. His ego lead to the defeat of Germany and his own death when he committed sucide and commanded his bodyguards to burn his body, so that his body was not hung in public; like Mussolini’s, the former psychopathic leader of Italy. While I think that the Munich Putsch was the most significant thing to Hitler’s rise to power, I do see how The Depression was a major cause to the rise of power. When the Wall Street crashed in 1929, the United States of America called back its loans from Germany. The United States had sent loans to Germany to help them pay off the French …show more content…
I think the Munich Putsch was even more important in 1933. This is because the support that Hitler gained while he was in prison was starting to make a difference in his political standing. He gained a ton of power when become Chancellor. He was now a leader of Germany. Hindenburg, the President, did not like the idea of Hitler being Chancellor of Germany until Hitler finally persuaded him to allow it to happen. Later after Hindenburg died, he took this chance to combine the position of Chancellor and President of Germany. He was then the complete dictator of Germany which he had always dreamed about

    How Did Stresemann Recover

    1923 was an extremely crucial time for Germany with a great shift in culture, economy and government. It was falling apart; the German economy had collapsed due to the striking between German workers and French occupiers. Hyperinflation rose so much that the German people were forced to using suitcases and wheelbarrows to carrying money not to mention the fact that the collapse of the currency caused even more havoc within the economy. Due to the French’s despise and hate for Germany they tried to encourage the Rhineland to break away, this then became a Rhineland Independence Movement which made France’s intentions possible. Furthermore left wing communist governments had taken matters into their own hands. They took control of Berlin and Hitler attempted the Beer Hall Putsch in November 1923 to overthrow the government, whilst other politicians broke away from Germany. That is what led Stresemann being appointed chancellor and foreign minister of a grand coalition government.…

    In terms of Political power it can be argued that it marked the first step in the implementation of the Nazi volkgemeinschaft as it effectively allowed Hitler to eliminate political opposition as the right of freedom the press was removed, this therefore allowed Hitler complete access to all propaganda methods within Germany as Göring was MWP (Minister Without Portfolio) this therefore meant that Hitler could gradually begin implementing Gleichshaltung within the propaganda system, this meant that Hitler could utilise new propaganda methods such as the radio for his own ends due to his, and only his, access to the funds available to the government at the time, also as opposition leaders were arrested, Hitler was also able to eliminate much of the significant political presence within the German political climate of 1933, as the leaders of the SPD (Socialist Party Germany) and the KPD (Communist Party Germany) were arrested, this therefore made a more significant amount of voters…

    This is a primary source so it can be a useful piece of evidence for a historian studying the outbreak of the Kapp putsch. This is a primary source because it is an extract from the proclamation, (The Cabinet issued this proclamation calling on Germany's workers to defeat the putsch by means of a general strike.) This was written for public consumption and the author's reputation in Germany is a right wing opponent of the Weimar republic therefore it's clear to see that it is fairly oblique, as they were trying to get their point/ argument across. This is a useful source of evidence as we can see the leaders view as he had first hand experience living in this troubled time in Germany. The date is precisely useful as it is written at the time of the event, which shows the hype' of the situation. The use of the literacy devices for example superlatives is throughout this extract; "grave, terrible, complete, dimly, ruthlessly" there is also a hyperbole device used a lot in speech's to exaggerate the speech and make things sound more hyped and it takes the attention of the words that follow. Which is good as the proclamation, in my opinion is diagonal and one-sided to the right wing opponents, this will gain supporters and as this was, Meant for public consumption people will listen to it.…

    Nationalism was an important and integral factor in the downfall of the Weimar Republic and in turn, the ensuing failure of democracy in Germany in the period 1918-1934. The sense of loyalty and devotion to ones nation, which the German citizens had felt in their militaristic past, was ultimately devastated by WWI and its consequences. Although nationalism was a major cause of the failure of democracy in Germany, there were many other factors adding to the stress upon the countrys government at this time. This included the Treaty of Versailles, the Reparations Bill, the occupation of the Ruhr and hyperinflation. Several attempts to install nationalistic beliefs back in the government occurred, the most important of these being the Kapp Putsch by the right-wing nationalists and the Beer Hall Putsch by the right-wing Nazi party. The disillusionment felt by the people and their need to restore pride in their nation influenced many factors that led to the failure of democracy, and to the rise of the Nazi political party and its leader Adolf Hitler.…

    The first way Hitler rose to power was because people were desperate. People were desperate to get out of the Great Depression, which was terrible for Germany. They were also desperate to blame somebody or a group of people for their loss in the war and all of their current problems. Hitler blamed the Jews for signing the Treaty of Versailles, which made Germany lose lots of its land, accept the war guilt, and pay the war reparations. Because the people of Germany were desperate, they accepted the lie that the Jewish people had caused their loss and caused their depression. For example, in 1930, Hitler and his radical views become increasingly popular (timeline notes).…

    The Holocaust was and still is a very important event that happened during WWII. The Holocaust literally means” a sacrifice consumed by fire.” The Holocaust is the event that was carried for many years where millions of Jews were killed in what they called “concentration camps” or “death camps.” The Holocaust took place from January 30th,1933 to May 8th 1945. You’re probably thinking “Why should I care about something that happened so long ago.” The answer to that question is even though it happened many years ago millions of people died just because of what they believed in,what they looked like,and trying to fight back against the wrongdoing. Just think if you were in their shoes and you were being persecuted for something you didn't think…
