Topic: What happened at the Munich Putsch and how did it affect Hitler’s rise to power?
On the morning of the 9th of November 1923, the Nazis attempted to seize power of Germany through a putsch. This essay will analyze what triggered Hitler to attempt a putsch, why he thought that the putsch would succeed and what role the events of the evening in the Beer Hall impacted it. I will narrate how the coup happened and what its effects and consequences were for the Nazi party. I will explain why I think that the putsch itself failed, but successfully, if indirectly played a part in how the Nazis rose to power.

The judges were chaired by Georg Neithardt, who had been a judge of Hitler at another incident before. Except for Neithardt, who tended to be lenient towards right-wing defendants who claimed to have acted out of sincere, patriotic reasons, the judges were pro-Nazi.

Explaining his reasons, he declared that the government was treacherous for signing the Treaty of Versailles, which many Germans agreed on, and explained that the clear communist threat in Germany had to be eliminated. The judges were impressed and sentenced him to serve five years in a minimum security prison and a 500Reichsmark fine. This verdict was criticized by many newspapers afterwards. Hitler spent his sentence in a comparably pleasant prison in which he was allowed communication with the outside. However, he ended up being released after 9 month for good

Santana Janis was by no means an atypical young teenager. Others described her as a “bright [and] outgoing” girl who liked horseback riding. Her community’s characteristics, however, were very different from that of a typical American town. The median household income in her hometown, Manderson, South Dakota, is less than half the U.S. average, and almost four-fifths of the town’s population live below the poverty line. This dysfunction affected Santana: she lived with as many as a dozen siblings and her grandfather in a dilapidated trailer.

Hitler “kept his promises’’ to the Jewish prisoners, by feeding them less, making them work to hard, and lethal living conditions.

The Nazi used the Great Depression as the boost to gain support from the Germans.

Hitler made promises to get rid of the unemployment rate, thus gaining the support of the public. Although the Great Depression was a key factor to Hitler’s rise to power but there were other causes: the German’s were looking for a saviour and Hitler happened to be that person; Hitler also played on the German’s fear factor of Communism and Communist which led him to get votes from the middle to higher class citizens by the burning of the Reichstag.

In timeline of Hitler rise to power there are three points that if people had spoken up Hitler would not have been able to stay in power and kill so many people. If people had opposed the passing of article 48 in 1919, Hitler could not have made extermination camps. Without article 48 Hitler could not have created new laws, without the concern of parliament. If people had protested when Hitler announced the new government in February 1933 he would have been less popular and powerful in Germany.
