How did the effects of World War I help Hitler come into power?

The Versailles Treaty ended World War I. This treaty was very harsh on Germany. Germany had to pay $33 billion in reparations to the Allies. Germany had to accept responsibility for World War I. Germany had to give up land and could only have a military capable of defending itself. Germany was very unhappy with the terms of the Versailles Treaty.

After World War I ended, Germany experienced difficult economic times. The economy went into a depression. Hitler suggested that if he was given political power, he would avenge the mistreatment from the Versailles Treaty. He said that the German people should not accept being treaty so poorly. He also promised to put the people of Germany back to work.

Since there were difficult economic times and since the German people were angry, they were willing to listen to Adolf Hitler and eventually support him as the leader of Germany.
