Hitler gained power in Germany before the Great Depression because he joined the German workers party. This party focused on creating a scapegoat and Hitler blamed the Jews. Hitler started public speaking with his political group and he spoke against the Treaty of Versailles, Marxists and Jewish people. This drew crowds because of the economic crisis and continued anger over the World War 2 defeat and the terms of the Treaty of Versailles. He changed the name of the party to the National Socialist German Workers Party which is also known as the Nazi party. The Beer Hall Putsch caused the Nazi party to be banned. His public speeches were also banned until 1927 because they were considered to inflammatory and agitating. The American Wall Street crash of October 1929 caused the Great Depression. The Great Depression caused the European nations to rely on soup kitchens and other government support. The Great Depression lead to the rise of totalitarian leaders because the leaders made promises about economic recovery.
