ADOLF HITLER BECOMES CHANCELLOR OF GERMANY THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS EVENT IN HITLER'S RISE TO POWER  HITLER’S YOUTH On the 20th of April 1889 Adolf Hitler is born to a penurious family. From a young age Hitler is pressured by his father to follow a career into civil service. In 1913 Hitler is faced with military service for the Habsburg Empire. His cowardice persuades him to evade this by moving to Munich in Southern Germany. In Munich, Hilter’s life continues no differently, until world…

knew the people he should become close to and what he had to do to become close to them. One thing Hitler did was he started to establish the Nazi party while Hindenburg was still in office. He knew that he needed to get a head start if he was going to make this work. To his advantage Germany lost the war. This made the support of Hindenburg drop dramatically.

the Long Knives was not a result of the reichstag fire because there is no link between Hitler and went in to kill his own members and the Reichstag building going up in flames.

Workers’ Party” (shortened to Nazi) in 1920. He ran against Paul von Hindenburg, receiving 36% of the votes, but Hindenburg elected him as chancellor to balance out politics.

for people he claimed to be “undesirables”. Hitler gained and gained power until he was really powerful. “Paul Von Hindenburg had appointed Hitler Chancellor (similar to prime minister).” (Smith,15).
