Nazism in Germany

Paper Summary:

This paper explores the horrifying appeal that Nazism had for Germans between the two world wars. Among other things, this paper addresses the punitive aspects of the Versailles Treaty as well as the crushing unemployment that wracked Germany during the period in question. Finally, the paper explores the fact that German society had always been an authoritarian one and thus susceptible to despots.

From the Paper:

"The 1920s and 1930s were decades of great turbulence in Germany. The harsh and bitter terms of Versailles and the economic upheaval of the Thirties combined to make Germany a nation ripe for takeover by a dictator spouting hateful venom blaming certain groups for the difficulties Germany found itself in. Germany was also vulnerable to a demagogue because German society, for far too long, had been an authoritarian culture that lionized its leaders - primarily its Kaiser."
