Answer 16

There were meeting about hitler joining the coalition

But we’re broken down when it became clear that hitler would only take power on his own terms

It would be safer to have the Nazis in the government rather than exclude them

Papen believed that he could control and manipulate hitler behind the scenes. But quickly led to believe he couldn’t

Question 17

The failure of schlicher government

Answer 17

He tried two tactics to achieve broad support to construct a stable government

One.
As the largest party only the Nazis could provide this from within the reichstag. He needed to persuade strasser a Nazi to join his government therefore putting pressure on hitler to do the same

Two.
Schliker tried to persuade the trade unions to support his government with the promise of a progressive social policy with measures to help the unemployed and restore wage levels. This failed as he did not attract as much trade support and alienated landowners
