Question 4 • US History

Which best summarizes how Adolf Hitler rose to power in Germany?

Answer
A
Hitler was elected on a promise to continue economic prosperity in Germany.
B
Hitler was elected on a promise to manufacture military equipment for other nations.
C
Hitler was elected as part of a requirement in the Treaty of Versailles.
D
Hitler was elected as a strong leader by Germans who felt angry following the Treaty of Versailles.

Explanation

After World War I, the Treaty of Versailles imposed harsh terms on Germany, fueling anger and resentment. Economic hardship and political instability helped Hitler and the Nazi Party gain support by promising to restore German strength. Thus, the best summary is that Hitler rose to power by appealing to Germans angry after the treaty; he was not elected because the treaty required it or because he promised prosperity or arms production for other nations.
