-The Great Depression (Many farmers and agricultural based enterprises looked to other means for compensation, desperate times call for desperate measures. Money and profits they lost during the financial crisis would cloud there judgment. They grew weary of living a hard and difficult life, and longed for improvement. For many, a promise of amelioration was enough to hop aboard the Nazi bandwagon.)
-Hitler was a devil public speaker (His rise to Chancellor had much to do with the fact that he had a great gift when getting up in front of a crowd, he could rally and persuade Germans like perhaps no man had ever done before. His speechless would always be followed by a thunder of applause and cheering: the crowd went mad for Hitler.)
-Conspiracy/Placing the Blame (An important political building of the time, the "Reichstag" was set on fire, and Hitler quickly blamed his political adversaries and strategically placed the blame on the Communists. To this day, it is still disputed what may have caused the fire. Many consider an unfortunate Dutch man named "Marinus Van der Lubbe" to have started the inferno, and some claim the Nazi party staged the act to cause fear. Others agreed that the Communists were indeed responsible. A quick and ill advised "Reichstag Fire Decree" was quick to respond. This document cut the freedom of the people and gave Hitler and the Nazis nearly absolute power in Germany.)
-Fear (The Nazi Party also gained an immense amount of support by force, as many Germans grew afraid to speak up against this new Dictatorship, as they would most certainly have been targeted if they had. Many put family and personal gain before their own freedom of speech or opinion.)
