Rise of the Nazi's.

Question 1

Rejection by Catholics & Socialists.

Answer 1

• Both rejected Nazism and both were propogandally immune with their structures.
• Their poor treatment during imperial Germany also provided another point for their rejection of the vote for them.
• They were afraid of empire returning.

Question 2

The “politics of anxiety”.

Answer 2

• Nazi votes felt a lack of faith in democracy and felt that traditional values were failing.
• Hitler used these feelings to exploit them to his advantage to gain more votes.
• This made voting towards him more appealing to many people of Germany who felt betrayed from the creation of the Republic.

Question 3

Young People.

Answer 3

• There was a “baby boom” during the pre war period.
• However the Great Depression ruined a part of the boom’s generation’s chances of getting employment.

• Although they were only 25% of the population 61% voted for them.

Question 4

Protestants, Peasants & workers.

Answer 4

• The vote was much more higher for the population of protestants, peasants and lower class workers.
• This is because of the obvious fact they were hit hardest during the depression.
