What were the short and long term reasons for the Nazis coming to power in 1933?

Hitler was a man who had Germany at his mercy .Germany would not be where it is today
without him. But without him, there might be less resentment in other countries.
The Weimar Republic was unpopular between the years 1919- 1923 because of
their democratic approach to an imperial form of government. They were not liked by
the Germans because they were thought to have been ³stabbed in the back´ after
they agreed to sign the Treaty of Versailles.Some of the reasons why the Weimar
Republic was disliked were that Germans Believed that by signing the Treaty, Friedrich
Ebert¶s government had betrayed Germany. The Treaty of Versailles stated that
Germany was not allowed an air force,the army had to be reduced to 100,000 men only
and Germany was forced to pay reparation of $6.6 billon. Also Germany had to give up
10 percent of its land, all of its overseas colonies and 16 per cent of its coal and 48 per
cent of its iron industry.Singing the Treaty meant that Germany had to accept its
defeat. The loss of overseas territory meant the dismantling of the German empire and
the loss of Germany's status as an Imperial superpower. The loss of colonies took away
the German pride and hurt both emotionally as well as financially.Due to all these
loses,the Germans got very and rebelled against its government

The Great Depression was a severe worldwide economic depression that took place
mostly during the 1930s, beginning in the United States. The timing of the Great Depression
varied across the world; in most countries, it started in 1929 and lasted until the late 1930s.The
Great Depression started in the United States after a major fall in stock prices that began around
September 4, 1929, and became worldwide news with the stock market crash of October 29,
1929, (known as Black Tuesday). Between 1929 and 1932, worldwide gross domestic product
(GDP) fell by an estimated 15%. By comparison, worldwide GDP fell by less than 1% from 2008
[4]
to 2009 during the Great Recession. Some economies started to recover by the mid-1930s.
However, in many countries, the negative effects of the Great Depression lasted until the
beginning of World War II.

German government want a new leader can lead the whole country can let German one he top
of the world.The National Socialist German Workers’ Party, or Nazi Party, grew into a mass
movement and ruled Germany through totalitarian means from 1933 to 1945 under the
leadership of Adolf Hitler (1889-1945). Founded in 1919 as the German Workers’ Party, the
group promoted German pride and anti-Semitism, and expressed dissatisfaction with the
terms of the Treaty of Versailles, the 1919 peace settlement that ended World War I (1914-
1918) and required Germany to make numerous concessions and reparations. Hitler joined
the party the year it was founded and became its leader in 1921. In 1933, he became
chancellor of Germany and his Nazi government soon assumed dictatorial powers. After
Germany’s defeat in World War II (1939-45), the Nazi Party was outlawed and many of its
top officials were convicted of war crimes related to the murder of some 6 million European
Jews during the Holocaust.
