"The rise of Nazism can be attributed to a complex interplay of factors. Here are some key points:
Economic Conditions:
Widespread economic misery, fear, and perception of worse times to come, as well as anger and impatience with the apparent failure of the government to manage the crisis, can offer fertile ground for the rise of extremist ideologies12.
Nationalism
Nationalism and Anti-Semitism: The rise in nationalism intensified the rise in anti-Semitism, which had also been growing since the Enlightenment3. The First World War strengthened these feelings of nationalism across Europe3.
Scapegoating
Scapegoating: Many people within Germany, including Adolf Hitler, found the loss of the First World War very difficult and humiliating to process. Instead, many looked for scapegoats to blame. This led to the Stab-in-the-Back Myth3.
Treaty of Versailles
Treaty of Versailles: The Treaty of Versailles forced Germany to admit complete responsibility for the war; pay large amounts of reparations (which undermined the Germany post-war economy); give up significant proportions of land, and limited the size of its army. The Treaty was extremely unpopular in Germany3.
Rise of the Nazi Party:
The unsettled conditions in Germany encouraged the popularity of nationalism and nostalgia for the country’s pre-war strength. Nationalism was a key factor in the rise in popularity of nationalist political parties such as the Nazis3.
Generational Disconnect:
A generational disconnect from the events of the Nazi era have older Germans concerned about repeating the past4.
It’s important to note that these are historical factors that contributed to the rise of Nazism in the past. The reasons for any contemporary rise in such ideologies could be different and would need to be studied in their specific socio-political context.
