The rise of hitler and the outbreak of war
Adolf Hitler's rise to power began in Germany in September 1919 when Hitler joined the political party known as the Deutsche Arbeiterpartei the name was changed in 1920 to the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei – NSDAP (commonly known as the Nazi Party). This political party was formed and developed during the post-World War I era. It was against the democratic post-war government of the Weimar Republic and the Treaty of Versailles; and it advocated extreme nationalism. Hitler's rise can be considered to have ended in March 1933, after the Reichstag adopted the Enabling Act of 1933 in that month; president Paul von Hindenburg had already appointed Hitler as Chancellor in 30 January 1933 after a series shady debates. The Enabling Act when used ruthlessly and with authority—virtually assured that Hitler could thereafter constitutionally exercise immense power without legal objection.
Adolf Hitler rose to a place of prominence in the early years of the party. Hitler was one of the best speakers of the Nazi party. He was aided in part by his willingness to use violence in advancing his political objectives and to recruit party members who were willing to do the same. The Beer Hall Putsch in November 1923 and the later release of his book Mein Kampf (My Struggle) introduced Hitler to a wider audience. Through the late 1920s and early 1930s, the Nazis gathered enough electoral support to become the largest political party in the Reichstag, and Hitler's blend of political savvy, deceptiveness and cunning converted the party's non-majority but plurality status into effective governing power in the ailing Weimar Republic of 1933. In 1934 Hitler declared himself dictator of Germany and started building up the German Military for the war to come. Hitler did the building of his army with ease because the League of Nations wanted to avoid war at all cost. In 1939 with his armies ready and his enemies not Hitler invades Poland thus starting WW2.
