Factors that contributed to Hitler's rise to power Both long-term and short-term causes contributed to Hitler's rise to power in many ways. The Treaty of Versailles was a long-term cause. caused chaos in Germany many years after the terms were agreed upon. The Germans hated him from the beginning. Hitler often talked about wanting to get rid of the treaty, when speaking at his rallies, this also makes it a short term cause as it was talked about in Hitler's speeches at the time. Hitler gave it importance, so it would seem sufficient to the current situation in Germany between 1923 and 1933. The conclusion was that the Germans thought that Hitler cared about them and wanted to make their lives better, which made him more popular. The Munich Putsch contributed enormously to Hitler's rise to power. When Hitler hijacked a government meeting and announced that he would take command of the Bavarian government. It was a huge crime, a crime called treason, Hitler was arrested and charged. In the short term, the Munich Putsch was a disaster for Hitler. The people did not rise up to support him, and things looked bad for the future, but Hitler, using his great oratory skills, managed to impress the judge to such an extent that instead of being charged with the normal life sentence, he received only 5 years for treason, which he was only given. served 9 months. While Hitler was in prison for his short term, he wrote a book titled mein kampf (my struggle) that clarified and presented his ideas about the future of Germany. In the long term, because of his trial, in which his ideas and words were reported by the national press, he got a huge... middle of paper... er, the lawsuits affected Hitler the most, since he was for a longer period of time and often showed which path to the future he was taking. With every step Hitler took, he was gaining more popularity, he would make himself seen and heard by all Germans, he would do whatever it took to rule Germany, all he wanted to do now was to have a complete Nazi Germany. Every little thing since 1918 slowly added up to Hitler becoming Chancellor of Germany, it's what he was working for. throughout his life, now that he had achieved it, he needed new goals. Hitler now had the future to deal with, now that he had gained power he had to keep it, it wouldn't be too difficult for Hitler. In my opinion, both long-term and short-term causes were equally important to each other in Hitler's rise to power. All causes helped a manipulative man get what he wanted.
