Hitler used the Treaty of Versailles as a way to fire up the German people and their spirit of nationalism. The German people were very unhappy with the terms of the Treaty of Versailles. They believed the treaty treated the German people unfairly. Hitler used this to his advantage.

The Germans felt the $33 billion payment in reparations was unfair. This payment was a factor that led to the Great Depression in Germany in the 1920s. It was this economic crisis that gave Hitler an opportunity to make his pitch to the German people that he could help Germany deal with its problems better than the current government could do.

Germans were upset with other aspects of the Treaty of Versailles. They felt that it was wrong that Germany had to accept responsibility for World War I when it was Austria-Hungary that started the war. They were upset that their military was dismantled. Germany could only have a military with defensive capabilities. Hitler used these terms to develop a spirit of nationalism in Germany. He said nobody should disrespect the German people. He indicated he would get revenge for this mistreatment if he got the power to do this. He began blaming other people, the Jews are an example, for Germany’s problems. He promised to restore the pride of the German people in themselves and in their country. The Treaty of Versailles gave Hitler the opportunity to pitch his ideas and to eventually lead Germany.
