The rise of the Nazi Party in Germany was fueled by a combination of economic hardship, political instability, and social discontent after World War I. The Treaty of Versailles imposed harsh reparations, causing widespread poverty and resentment among Germans. Additionally, the Great Depression in the 1930s exacerbated unemployment and despair, enabling Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party to exploit nationalist sentiments and fears. Utilizing propaganda, promises of economic recovery, and a vision of a restored national pride, they gained popular support. Their rise led to the establishment of a totalitarian regime, aggressive expansionism, and ultimately sparked World War II.
