Why did Hitler attempt the Munich Putsch in 1923? • By 1923, the Nazi party had 55,000 members and was stronger than ever before. • The Weimar Republic was in crisis and about to collapse. • In September 1923, the Weimar government had called off the general strike, and every German nationalist was furious with the government. • Hitler thought he would be helped by important nationalist politicians in Bavaria. • Hitler had a huge army of storm troopers, but he knew he would lose control of them if he did not give them something to do. • Hitler hoped to copy Mussolini - the Italian fascist leader - who had come to power in Italy in 1922 by marching on Rome.
