  4. The Weimar Republic • After World War One Kaiser Wilhem II abdicated, and Germany was ruled by the Reichstag • Germany’s government was very weak and there were extremist groups that frequently caused problems • Many people were unhappy with the Weimar Republic and the government was weak because of this

  5. The Nazi Party • In 1919, when Adolf Hitler joined the German National Socialist Workers Party (NDSAP) it was led by Anton Drexler • Hitler was able to become important within the party quickly • He re-organised the party, so that he was the head and there were no rivals to his power

  6. Mein Kampf • Hitler attempted to seize power by inciting soldiers to revolt • This failed and Hitler was arrested • He was sentenced to 2 years in prison • While he was in prison, he wrote a book called Mein Kampf (My Struggle) outlining his political ideas

  7. Gaining Power • After Hitler’s release, he realised that to be elected he needed to have a wider appeal to the public • He concentrated on traditional values and less on his extreme ideas • The Nazi Party gained enough votes to have seats in the Reichstag (German parliament) • He then took the Chancellorship
