Master Appeal

There were many circumstances that led to the rise of Adolf Hitler as a great leader, and to the change to a one-party state in Germany, and the success of the Nazi party was due largely to the political and economic instability of the period.  Social unrest in Germany had been growing since the stipulations of the Versailles Treaty at the end of the First World War, and the results of the Treaty's sanctions and restrictions on Germany eroded the public trust and support in the recently founded Weimar Republic.
