Abstract
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."

Conclusion

From the Paper
"When Americans think of evil people today, Osama bin Laden and his cohorts come to mind of course, but other all-time favorites include Mussolini and Hitler who many suggest were among the most genocidal men in history. The different offshoots of totalitarianism that emerged during the early 20th century and were refined during the crucible of World War II suggest that Mussolini and Hitler shared many of the same fundamental views, just as General Francisco Franco's particular brand of authoritarianism also contained some of these ideological elements. Although Italian Fascism, Nazism and Francoism shared some similarities in their respective ideologies, there were some discernible differences as well. "

Abstract
This essay takes a brief look at the meteoric rise of Nazism, a phenomenon that brought destruction and grief to millions of people. It also takes a look at the causes behind its rise in Germany.

From the Paper
"The most immediate cause of the formation of the Nazi Party and the subsequent rise of Nazism was the aftermath of World War I in which Germany was defeated and humiliated under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles. Under the one-sided terms of the treaty, Germany was solely held responsible for the war, stripped of its colonial empire , its armed forces largely disbanded, and the Rhineland permanently demilitarized and occupied by Allied forces for an indefinite period. (Jarman, p. 75) Most of all, the provision kept in the Treaty for "reparations" as compensation to the Allies for the damage caused by Germany, created the greatest resentment among the Germans. Even J. M. Keynes, then the Treasury representative at the Conference convened for the Treaty, pointed out that Germany would be unable to make the payments."

"Naziism
Introduction
Naziism is perhaps most inescapably connected to the concentration camps. It is the political philosophy that led to that end. There is more to it, however, as a political movement that galvanized an entire nation and led it into a major world war.

Background
Most historians locate the birth of Naziism in the defeat of Germany in World War I. The terms of the settlement for that peace were hard on Germany. What resulted was widespread economic problems, feelings of humiliation and anger, and the desire of Germans to regain their position as one of the more.."

Abstract
The writer of this well-researched paper details the significance of the Great Depression on Adolf Hitler's rise to power. This paper examines the Kellog pact, which bound the economy of Germany which greatly suffered since America wanted recovery of the loans from Germany which were agreed under the Dewas Plan of 1924. Germany's post-WWI economy was beneficiary of foreign loans, particularly loans from the U.S. and on global trade that was founded on a system of loans and notes of credit. When America's global trade and commerce broke down, it also brought down the economy of Germany. This paper explores the effects of the depression in America on the German people, which resulted in extremism, as frantic inhabitants believed that the politicians had left them in the lurch and they were seeking an alternative to their economic difficulties. This paper details the impact of Hitler during this crucial period. The German citizens who gave their votes in favor of the Nazis were not limited to the jobless. German citizens desired to have a government that was able to grab the organization of banks and companies, to get their funds and distribute it evenly among the poverty stricken people. This in-depth paper discusses the people of Germany who looked forward to Nazism, as the moderate parties were frail, vulnerable and not in agreement about the future of Germany, unlike Hitler, who had a firm vision, which appealed to the citizens.

From the Paper
"Hinderburg, in spite of his hatred for Hitler, willingly consented to his deal to be crowned Chancellor and Von Papen as the Vice Chancellor, as the Nazis seemed to be the sole well-supported right-wing party that could safeguard Germany from the assault of this Communist Revolution. On January 1933, Papen once again built a cabinet with Hitler as the Chancellor. Papen and other conservatives planned they could repress Hitler by pinning him down with the tasks of government and they would ride piggyback his remarkable popularity with a sizeable section of the voters. However, they were just not even close as regards Hitler's brutality and brilliance at sniffing the opportune moment to capture power. Hitler, who was in the fray for election, bagged thirteen and half million votes."

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the experiences of women in Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany. In particular, the paper addresses how the Nazis and fascists understood "women's issues", further considering whether they adopted special measures to deal with women. Additionally, the paper explores how women responded to such measures.

From the Paper
"The following paper will compare and contrast the experiences of women in Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany. In particular, the paper will answer three questions: How did the Nazis and fascists understand "women's issues"? Did they adopt special measures to deal with women? And how did women respond to such measures? The paper will begin by noting how the Nazis understood women's issues; the paper will then shift to look at how the Italian fascists conceived of women's issues. From there, time will be devoted to looking at the special measures embraced by the German Nazis versus the Italian fascists; finally, the essay will end by looking at how women..."

Abstract
It is important to understand that Enlightenment stood for reason and education. This paper discusses how the Nazis were uneducated and rejected reason. They relied on emotional intensity and focused on the passion that "nature" appeared to give their cause.

From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to examine various issues surrounding the fact that fascist ideology in Third-Reich Germany honored mothers in a particular way. The plan of the research will be to set forth the context in which Nazi ideology penetrated the social and cultural position of women in Germany when Hitler came to power, and then to discuss how the policies that flowed from such ideology actually affected women's status in the Third Reich.

... note a gradual ideological shift in Nazi Germany's treatment of the idea of motherhood. They say that Nazi ideologues saw women as the anchor of highly traditional family values from the beginning of their quest for political power in Germany, but that official policy toward women in general and mothers in particular changed to fit political ...
