The Changing Political fortunes of the Nazi Party :: Ancient Rome Roman History

The Changing Political fortunes of the national socialist PartyAccount for the changing governmental fortunes of the Nazi Party from November, 1923 until January, 1933.The main political changes that the Nazi Party or the NSDAP endured during the intent of November, 1923 until January 1933 was its rise from a small extreme right party to a major political force. It is vitally Copernican that the reasons behind this rise to power also be examined, to explain why the NSDAP was able to rise to the top. save first a perspective on the Nazi party itself is necessary to account for the changing political fortunes of the Nazi Party. In late 1923 and early 1924 the German economy seemed to experience a mild period of economic stabilisation and prosperity. In November, the government issued a new currency and ensured that tight restrictions were imposed. The economy was further stimulated by loans principally from the USA. However despite all this there simultaneously, was increasing numb ers of unemployed persons. A well cited example of this is the coal mining industry where the introduction of more cost-effective machinery meant that one in four miners lost their jobs. No doubt that increased unemployment meant that the German population grew increasingly discontent with the Weimar government and this is the beginnings of the swing towards more original political voting. Hitler knew that he had to have attractive political policies in order to attract a greater pool of voters, looking for alternative parties, and he recognised a possible solution to this was to attract the attention of the farming and country-bred community. The Nazi Party took this opportunity quickly and campaigned hard to win over the votes of the farmers and coarse workers by promising tax reductions, cheaper electricity and a promise to rebuild the farming industry. The peasants, the Nazis said, were of true German blood and their life was the true German life. They had dishonourably bee n neglected by the Weimar Republic. Hitler told the people of the land that under a Nazi Government, rural people would be the most important people in Germany. The rural Germans were on the brink of bankruptcy, constituting approximately 11 Billion marks by 1932. The Nazis promise of a return to rural prosperity was too good for them to resist. til now this adoption of the rural Germans also proved useful in another sense because it allowed the Nazi party to use the Jewish people as a scapegoat towards the problems faced by the rural Germans.
